Five things to know about the Flyers (28-24-7) as they face best-in-the-NHL Washington (39-12-7) on Wednesday night at the Wells Fargo Center.
- After a one-game benching, defenseman Andrew MacDonald will return to the lineup and it appears Michael Del Zotto will be a healthy scratch. Nick Schultz and Jordan Weal also will be scratched.
- Michal Neuvirth will make his fifth straight start - and eighth in his last nine games - for the Flyers, who are three points out of a playoff spot with 23 games left.
