The Philadelphia Flyers are licking their wounds after being humiliated at home by the New Jersey Devils on Thursday, 5-0. Unfortunately, they won’t have time to heal because they will have to travel to Washington today to face the red hot Alex Ovechkin and the Washington Capitals. Ovi has been off the charts, notching 14 goals in his last 7 games, and is just 2 shy of 700. The Flyers are a force at home but on the road they are 11-13-3. Capital One Arena will be electric tonight and the Caps will have payback on their minds after falling to the Flyers, 3-2, on January 8th. Washington has won 5 of the last 6 meetings and as usual, are tough at home, with a mark of 16-7-4.
