Week 14 is another four-game work week for the Washington Capitals. Perhaps they will be energized by the 8-1 thumping they put on the Boston Bruins to end Week 13. They could use the jolt for a week that includes two games against an old, if fading rival, and a rematch against the Bruins in Boston.
The Opponents
Philadelphia Flyers (Tuesday/7:00 at Capital One Arena and Saturday/12:30 at Wells Fargo Center)
Last season, the Caps had their problems with the Philadelphia Flyers, losing their last three meetings of the season (two at home) after winning their first encounter and being outscored, 15-6.
