The Philadelphia Flyers have been on a roll but if anyone can slow them down it’s the Washington Capitals, and that is who they will be hosting tonight at Wells Fargo Center. The Flyers, who sit at 34-27-8 on the season, have won 2 straight and are 18-4-2 in their last 24 overall. The Metropolitan Division leading Capitals, 41-22-7, fell to the Penguins on Tuesday but prior to that they they were riding a 7-game winning streak. Washington is 6-2-2 in their last 10 against Philadelphia, including a 5-3 victory against them on March 6th. Carter Hart is expected between the pipes for Philadelphia but has not played since February 21st due to an ankle injury so rust could be an issue. I like the Capitals in this situation.
TONIGHT’S PICK: WASHINGTON CAPITALS
