washington capitals vs. philadelphia flyers Pick

Washington is coming in with momentum after a 7-3 win over Calgary where their offense finally woke up, scoring seven on just 29 shots. The Caps are sitting just above league average, posting 3.18 goals per game. Their power play hasn’t been great (around 16%), but they shoot the puck a lot more (29) than Philadelphia, which sits bottom three in the league with just 25.3 shots per game. A big part of Washington hanging around this season has been Logan Thompson. He’s been solid in net, posting a .912SV% along with a 2.62 GAA.

Philadelphia is coming off a tough 6-2 loss by the New York Rangers last time out. The Philadelphia Flyers actually put 34 shots on net, but still couldn't generate enough to pull out the win. That's to be expected from a team that scores the second-fewest goals in the NHL (2.90 GPG), but is also giving up 3.17 goals a night. Like Washington, the Flyers power play also sits around 16%, meaning they can't even capitalize when they do have an advantage. There's simply no offensive threat from the Philly bench. 

Washington’s slightly stronger offense and better goaltending give the Capitals the edge here. They've also taken seven of the last eight meetings against the Flyers, winning four of those games by at least two goals.
