The Washington Capitals are on a roll right now, and they’ve done a lot of their best recent work on the road. However, the Philadelphia Flyers have seen some strong results these last couple of weeks as well, and it’s likely only a matter of time before they figure things out on their home ice. Even with the Caps having the edge in past meetings, there’s value with the home dog given the way the Flyers are playing right now. Give me the plus money.
