Washington at Philadelphia

Philadelphia has won the last two games, but any hopes of another historic comeback get squashed today. The Flyers have survived because of a short drought by the dynamic Washington offense, tallying one goal the last two games. Washington is loaded with offensive firepower, second in the NHL in goals scored and fifth on the power play. They are also second defensively in goals allowed and third in penalty killing. The Capitals are 38-13 after scoring two goals or less in their previous game. The Philadelphia offense hasn't exactly been tearing it up, scoring just two goals in each of the last two contests, and six for the series (five games). For the season Philadelphia ranks #22 in goals scored. Even in winning the last game, 2-0, the Flyers had just 11 shots on net despite six power plays! The Capitals are 42-17 when their opponent allows two goals or less in their previous game, so watch the super-talented team close it out. Take Washington.
