Same-Game Parlay Pick 1: Under 1.5 P1
In their last 10 games, the Caps have seen the first period UNDER hit 80% of the time. When on the road, they're 21-15 (58%) against that first period UNDER.
For Philly, they might be 5-5 against the first period UNDER in their last 10 but narrow that down and they're 3-2 in their last five.

Defense wins in these tight games. It serves neither side to make this a track meet. They'll play cautiously and we'll see a quiet first period.
Same-Game Parlay Pick 2: Alex Ovechkin Anytime Goal
Ovie loves scoring against the Flyers. In 73 career games against Philly, the Great 8 has 48 goals. We've also got to look at how bad the Flyers penalty kill has been lately. They've allowed six powerplay goals against on 18 opportunities in their last 10 games. That's a 66% efficiency. And with 0 goals in his last three games, we know Ovechkin is due.
We also know that the Russian sniper always steps up in these big games for the Caps. I'm sure he gets (at least one) tonight.
Same-Game Parlay Pick 3: Dylan Strome O0.5 Points
Since March 1, Dylan Strome has been on fire with 24 points (6 goals and 18 assists) in 23 games. And just like his captain, Dylan has been quite productive against the Flyers with 10 points in 12 career games.
As a Capital, Strome has eight points (three goals and five helpers) in five games against these Flyers.
