Washington Capitals vs Philadelphia Flyers Prediction
The Flyers are getting the benefit of the doubt because they’re at home with the rest advantage. The Capitals played last night. Still, the Flyers are in horrible form right now, which includes four straight losses. The Flyers have allowed three or more goals in six straight games. The Capitals have also won six straight games against the Flyers. The Caps haven’t lost to the Flyers since December 2023. I know the Capitals have had many hiccups on the road this season. Still, the value is with the road team and the more favorable price. I’ll take it.
