Philadelphia at Washington

Philadelphia has a winning record overall, as well as on the road. Philadelphia has won six of its last seven games after getting a 3-1 victory over New Jersey on Saturday to move within one point of the final playoff position in the Eastern Conference. The Flyers have won six in a row against winning teams and are 16-7 playing their fourth game in six days. The Washington Capitals have taken a step back this season, ranked #17 in goals allowed and #19 in penalty killing. Washington has dropped three of four games and has allowed three or more goals in each of the last four contests. And coach Barry Trotz told reporters after a 3-2 home loss to Montreal on Friday that too many guys were "still on vacation." That's not a good sign for the home team, so back the hot and motivated underdog. Play Philadelphia.
