A familiar opponent, the Flyers handled the Capitals during their season series.
Out of all of the opponents the Flyers will face during round-robin play, they are most familiar with the Washington Capitals. Playing them four times during the season, they seemed to improve during every game.
They captured a point in every single game, coming very close to sweeping the season series over Washington. The Flyers went 3-0-1 against the Capitals this season.
And they were threatening to take over first place from them in the Metro.
