Can Capitals Offense Build Off Last Game?

The Capitals haven’t been exactly dominant as of late, and they have shown a few holes, but the last game was sure impressive. Washington faced off against the Florida Panthers and they ended up winning 6-3. The Capitals scored four goals in the third period, and that was enough for the victory. Nic Dowd had a strong game scoring one goal and adding an assist. Logan Thompson was in goal and he saved 30 of the 33 shots that he faced. Two games ago against the Winnipeg Jets, they forced overtime, but they ended up losing 5-4. 

The Capitals are averaging 3.55 goals while their defense is giving up 2.45 goals per game. The offense is ranked 2nd while the defense is also ranked 2nd in the league. As a team, they are shooting 12.95 percent which is 1st in the league. On paper, this is one of the best teams in the league, and they have followed that up with the results. A strong offensive start is going to be key here. Dylan Storme has scored 15 goals and added 36 assists so far this season. 

Why the Capitals Will Beat the Flyers

• The Capitals have won each of their last four night games against Metropolitan Division opponents.
• The Flyers have lost each of their last four night games at Wells Fargo Center after coming off overtime.
• The Capitals have covered the puck line in each of their last five games against the Flyers.
• The Flyers have failed to cover the puck line in five of their last six night games against Eastern Conference opponents.
• The Flyers have lost the third period in each of their last five night games at Wells Fargo Center when tied after the second period.

Flyers are Struggling

The Flyers are struggling to head into this game, and they have lost four games in a row. The offense has been a big issue and over the last four games they have scored only two goals total. Two games ago against the Colorado Avalanche, they lost 2-0, and in the last game against the Utah Hockey Club, they ended up losing 3-2 in overtime. The Flyers got the scoring started with a goal in the first period, but they only added one more goal, and they ended up getting knocked off. 

The Flyers are averaging 2.78 goals while their defense is giving up 3.3 goals per game. The offense is ranked 22nd in the league while the defense is ranked 27th in the league. They are facing only 27.09 shots per game which is 9th in the league. Travis Konecny has scored 21 goals and added 37 assists so far this season. The offense is going to need to get going here, but the defense is also going to need to make a huge statement. 

Washington Capitals vs Philadelphia Flyers Prediction

The Capitals are going to put on a show here. The Flyers are averaging only 2.78 goals per game and their offense isn’t going to be even close to good enough. In fact I believe the Flyers are going to score a goal or less. The Capital’s offense has looked good all season, and they are going to have no issue running up the score here. The Capitals are going to score at least four goals here, and this game is going to be a comfortable victory here. Back the Capitals on the puck line to cash.
