If you look at where the Washington Capitals stand on the surface, you’d think they’re in pretty good shape with a 41-20-8 record sitting in first place in the Metropolitan Division.
But that record which gives them 90 points is a very slim margin for a red hot Philadelphia Flyers team who has caught their tail and beat the Caps in their last two meetings in D.C.
Just one point separates the Capitals and Flyers with the Pittsburgh Penguins trailing by just four. Recently, after dropping a tough game against the Flyers and the next night against the New York Rangers.
