The Flyers have not done enough offensively this season, but there are signs of improvement as they have increased their goal-scoring rate in the last few games. The likes of Travis Konecny and Kevin Hayes are crucial for the team, having been involved in 31 goals and 48 assists combined.

Capitals vs Flyers Betting Prediction
This game is very interesting given the performances both the teams have put in recently, with the Flyers showing their best in the last few games.
The Caps too have played well in most of their games, with their margin of losses being just a single goal for most of the season up till now.
On the other hand, the Flyers have been inconsistent and that makes things difficult for them. Their defense is likely to struggle against the free-flowing Caps offense.
With on-the-road results in their favor and a better team setup, we can expect the Caps to get the result with a complete team performance.
