The Washington Capitals return home from a three-game Western swing with two high-scoring wins in their pocket. Alex Ovechkin single-handedly led a comeback in Utah, notching his 34th career hat trick in a 7-4 win. Two days later, the Caps needed another come-from-behind effort in Vegas, eventually winning 5-4 in a shootout. Those games ended a 7-game UNDER streak and helped draw the team within five points of the final wild-card spot in the East, but time is running out. Philadelphia is directly ahead of the Caps in the standings, so the importance of this matchup for either team cannot be overstated. The Flyers won 4-1 when these two met in Philly three weeks ago — the game that sparked Washington's extended stretch of UNDERS — and we should expect an all-out assault on the Philly net tonight. For its part, the Flyers have scored 4+ goals in four of their past six, and they are 8-2 in their past ten. They're averaging 3.7 GPG on the road in March, and in this crucial battle for wild-card points, the goalies will have nowhere to hide. Take the Flyers-Capitals OVER.

Pro Picks
Washington at Philadelphia
Washington is playing the second game of a back-to-back after defeating the Islanders 4-1 last night. The Capitals have lost 11 of 15 road games, and they are 0-6 in the third game of a 3-in-4 days situation. Philadelphia has won its past seven Tuesday games and the Flyers have won four of five home games against teams with losing road records. Dan Vladar is confirmed for the Flyers and he is 16-8-5 with a 2.50 goals-against average and a .903 save percentage overall and 9-3-0 with a 2.46 GAA at home. Clay Stevenson will likely get his first road start of the season for the Capitals and his third of the season overall. Take the Flyers.
