Game Preview
The Washington Capitals are looking to extend their winning streak to five games and complete a home-and-home sweep of the Philadelphia Flyers on Wednesday, offering an intriguing opportunity for bettors. Washington, fresh off a 4-1 victory in Philadelphia, brings momentum into the rematch as both teams clash in the nation’s capital.
Washington’s Tuesday win featured key short-handed goals from Nic Dowd and Andrew Mangiapane, while defensemen John Carlson and Jakob Chychrun sealed the victory with third-period goals. Bettors might consider player prop bets on Carlson and Dylan Strome, who both extended their point streaks to five games. Strome, with three goals and five assists during this stretch, and Carlson, with two goals and four assists, have been reliable offensive producers.
Capitals goaltender Logan Thompson is expected to start after Charlie Lindgren’s solid 17-save performance on Tuesday. Thompson, who has won both of his starts this season, boasts a 1-0-1 career record against the Flyers, making him a strong candidate for those looking to bet on goaltending props or Washington’s chances in the matchup.
The Flyers, meanwhile, are in a free fall, with their losing streak now at five games (0-4-1). Defenseman Travis Sanheim scored their lone goal in the latest defeat, but Philadelphia has been outscored 23-11 since their season-opening shootout win over the Vancouver Canucks. Bettors eyeing total goals should consider Philadelphia’s scoring struggles, as their offense has been inconsistent under pressure.
Philadelphia’s coach John Tortorella emphasized staying aggressive, yet the Flyers have been prone to defensive lapses. Goalie Ivan Fedotov is expected to start, despite a tough start to the season, with a bloated goals-against average of 6.09 after allowing five goals in each of his first two games. This situation could make Washington’s offense appealing for over/under bets on total goals or Washington team totals.
Washington is in the middle of a challenging schedule, facing several divisional opponents, which coach Spencer Carbery acknowledged could wear down the team. However, the Capitals have proven their ability to capitalize on opportunities, and bettors might favor them to secure another win against a struggling Flyers team.
Overall, Washington’s strong form, combined with Philadelphia’s defensive vulnerabilities, makes the Capitals an appealing pick in both the moneyline and puck line, while player props on Strome, Carlson, and Thompson could offer value. Philadelphia’s ongoing struggles might point to another tough outing, especially against a confident Capitals squad.
