BETTING TRENDS
Washington are 5-1 SU in their last 6 games on the road.
Washington are 10-4 as road favorite.
Philadelphia are 0-6 SU in their last 6 games.
Philadelphia are 2-10 SU in their last 12 games at home.
Prediction
The Flyers are on a losing streak and have won only 4 of 20 games as home underdogs. The Capitals are 10-4 as road favorites and just beat the Flyers a week ago 5-3. I expect a similar result here, the Capitals win by 1 or 2 goals.
