With just thirteen games left in the regular season and facing a playoff points deficit of five points, the Flyers are in full-on desperation mode for wins.
This was also the case eight days ago against these very same Capitals, though the Flyers couldn’t find their footing in that one and suffered a 5-3 setback at the hands of the Metropolitan leaders. It’s the lone loss for the Flyers in their last five games, but it’s paramount that they find a better result against a Caps team they’ll play twice in their last baker’s dozen.
