Game Preview

Competition for a playoff spot comes down to the final game — or maybe beyond it — when the Washington Capitals visit the Philadelphia Flyers on Tuesday night.

By virtue of their 2-0 win against the Boston Bruins on Monday, the Capitals (39-31-11, 89 points) control their own destiny. A win against Philadelphia (38-32-11, 87 points) assures Washington the second wild card from the Eastern Conference for the Stanley Cup playoffs.

Charlie Lindgren made 16 saves, and John Carlson and Nic Dowd (empty netter) scored for the Capitals in a game that featured playoff intensity. Washington has won three of four after a six-game losing streak.
