Sup, Matt Niskanen? The Capitals headed up to Philadelphia for just their third Metro division matchup this season, and their first since October 18th’s game against the Rangers. The Caps were looking to extend their point streak to 13 games, and the Flyers were looking to extend goalie Carter Hart’s win streak to five games. Coming into tonight, the Caps have posted an 8-1-1 record on the road and the Flyers have a 6-1-1 record at home. Should be fun, right?
Something else to note: tonight was also the first time these teams have seen each other since the Matt Niskanen-Radko Gudas trade, which gave the matchup some added narrative.
