Flyers lineup tonight: Philadelphia's projected lineup for game against Washington Capitals

The Philadelphia Flyers entertain the Washington Capitals at home on Thursday. Heading into the Flyers vs. Capitals game, Philly are on a two-game skid and have a 2-7-1 record in their last ten games.

On the other hand, the Capitals maintain a 34-point lead over the rock-bottom Flyers in the Metropolitan Division standings. Coming off back-to-back games against the Sharks and the Red Wings, Washington takes on Philadelphia in the second of a three-game homestand.

While the Flyers's hopes of a Wild Card berth seem nearly nonexistent, Washington leads the entire Eastern Conference and is poised to make what the team hopes will be a deep postseason run.
