Washington Capitals vs Philadelphia Flyers Prediction

While the season is still young, the Capitals and Flyers are heading in different directions. The Flyers can’t get out of their own way, with losses in 5 straight Games and a defense that’s allowed 3 or more goals in every Game during this streak. The Capitals are rolling right now and the offense has caught fire. The Caps also just beat the Flyers last night on the road comfortably 4-1, and now they get them at home. Again, it feels like two teams heading in different directions. I’ll ride the hot hand and side with the Capitals.
