Philadelphia Flyers vs. Washington Capitals Predictions

Score Prediction Capitals 4 Flyers 3

In four meetings between these two teams this year, the winner has scored at least five goals in three of them. Washington's won the last three overall and are coming off a 8-1 win over Boston and even with some offensive regression expected, getting half that tally here against a Flyers team that's no strangers to allowing 3+ goals should be enough from Washington's end.

Philly's a team that's scored at least two goals in six straight games, and even with a 1-3 SU record against Washington this year, the Flyers have scored at least three goals in three of those games themselves. A game where each side pots three and we go from there is how I see this one playing out.
