Capitals vs Flyers Prediction
Both teams are tied 1-1 in their two meetings this season, with each one winning at home. The Flyers won 4-2 in Philly and the Capitals 3-1 in DC, but the Capitals have won their last six head-to-head matches before that.
In this Capitals vs Flyers Prediction, the Capitals are coming as -120 road favorites. The Capitals have been the slightly better team this season but they have been significantly weaker on the road and are just 1-3 in their last 4 games. On the flip side, the Flyers are 4-2 in their last 6 games and have already won once at home against the Capitals so I like them as home dogs in this spot. Take the Flyers on the moneyline for plus money.
