Another day, another elimination game for the Philadelphia Flyers. This time, it's on the road in the Nation's Capital in Game 5 of this Eastern Conference First Round series against the Washington Capitals.
The Flyers will need to replicate the performance we saw in the first two periods of Wednesday night's Game 4. They controlled possession, peppered Braden Holtby with shots, requiring the Capitals goaltender to come up with big saves often, and most importantly they stayed out of the penalty box.
Can they do the same on the road? Getting favorable matchups at even strength will be hard, but in all honesty despite the two losses early in the series in Washington, the Flyers have still been able to perform well and even beat the Capitals at five-on-five from a puck control perspective.
