With every game being a must-win scenario nowadays, the Philadelphia Flyers will head home after a three game road trip to take on the Metropolitan Division leading Washington Capitals hoping to extend their winning streak to three.
The Capitals are, in a word, good. They rank sixth among NHL teams in total Goals-For with 226 on the year thus far and have lost just one of their last seven contests. Captain Alex Ovechkin is, once again, leading the way on offense with 75 points (45 Goals, 30 Assists) in 65 games played.
