The Washington Capitals are feeling comfortable, but have coughed up a 2-0 or 3-1 series lead on 10 occasions in franchise history, while the Flyers have overcome an 0-2 deficit three times, with the last in 2010 versus Boston. The Capitals blew a 2-0 lead to the New York Rangers in the first round in 2013. Philadelphia is 23-10-8 at home, including a 2-1 shootout victory over visiting Washington on March 30. The Flyers rank #12 in goals allowed and have been on a strong second half tear. They have played well in this series, too, despite being down 0-2. Captain Claude Giroux and the Flyers had a 42-23 edge in shots Saturday and now come home to the Wells Fargo Center. The Flyers are 20-8 playing on one day of rest, and the Capitals are 11-28-1 in the last 40 meetings in Philadelphia. Play Philadelphia in Game 3.
