Flyers vs Capitals Prediction

The Philadelphia Flyers remain one of the more underachieving teams in the league, and they’re not a team I’m looking to back now. The Flyers have lost each of their last four games, and they’ve scored a combined two goals in those contests. The Capitals remain one of the better teams in the league, and they’ve done a lot of heavy lifting on the road, where they’ve racked up 18 wins. The Capitals have also won four straight games against the Flyers. If the Flyers cant find the back of the net, this will be a long night. Give me the Capitals and the reasonable price.
