There are no “easy” games in the NHL, but some, at least on paper, are easier than others. The Caps have a three-game week ahead with games against teams eliminated from playoff competition sandwiched around a bona fide contender for the Stanley Cup.
The Opponents
Philadelphia Flyers (Tuesday/7:00pm – Capital One Arena)
The Caps will wrap up their four-game season series against the Philadelphia Flyers on Tuesday at Capital One Arena. Although the Flyers have struggled mightily after starting the season with an 8-4-2 record, they did win two of the three games against the Caps to date, both by 2-1 scores (November 6th and February 26th).
