Philadelphia at Washington

Well, what looked like a series that was squarley in control of the Flyers has turned ugly for them. They really needed to avoid losing game six. That home loss gave the advtange back to Washington in multiple ways. They obviously relinquished home ice advantage but the psychological edge now also goes to Washington who has won two straight to avoid elimination. They are in control and will have a wild crowd egging them on here. Ovechkin put in two goals in game six and the Hart Trophy contender is playing like he deserves it. Philadelphia is just 7-27 the past three seasons in second-half-of-season play on the road vs. winning teams. They are just 5-16 this season on the road vs. teams at .500 to .600. Finally, the Flyers are just 5-17 this season revenging a loss by 2+ goals. Washington is 15-8 in their last 23 vs. winning teams and with their momentum and home ice, we like them to get it done here.
