NHL Best Bets: Capitals vs. Flyers Game Picks

The Washington Capitals look to hold ground in the Eastern Conference playoff race when they visit the Philadelphia Flyers.

Washington Capitals (-178) vs. Philadelphia Flyers (+146) Total: 6 (O -120, U -102)

It was hard to know what to expect from the Capitals, considering they have some aging veterans and were dealing with injuries early on. They’ve proved doubters wrong, continuing to hold a playoff spot and posting a 7-2-1 record over their last ten games. Despite the Flyers having a less-than-stellar record, they’re 6-4 over that same sample. These teams are on different wavelengths, knowing that the Capitals are trying to milk the last ounce of competitive hockey out of this core while the Flyers are navigating the long path of a rebuild.
