The Philadelphia Flyers look to end their five game home-stand with a win. Look to make it two wins in a row as they take on Washington Capitals tonight at the Wells Fargo Center.
On Monday, the Flyers bended late, but did not break against a dangerous Avalanche team. Something that John Tortorella said would be a key teaching moment about “situtional hockey.”
James van Riemsdyk is expected to make his return to the lineup. Tanner Laczynski was placed on IR yesterday with a lower-body injury.
The Flyers vs Capitals matchup has been bad to the Flyers recently. Losing nine of the last twelve meetings.
Carter Hart will make his 20th start of the season. Hart is 5-5-1 with 3.03 GAA & .904% in 11-starts at home this season.
