The Philadelphia Flyers have flat out beaten the Washington Capitals in all but 3 periods of this series. Those 3 periods have contributed to the Caps 2 victories.
With the exception of the 3rd period of game 1 and the 1st and 2nd periods of game 5, the Flyers have out played the Capitals in all aspects of the game.
They've had more scoring chances, more energy, better defense, and they're getting to the loose pucks.
They've developed a successful formula to shutting down the NHL's top scorer in A. Ovechkin. With frequent double teams, they've held him to just 1 goal and 4 assists. They've consistenly had a body in front and a body behind him at all times and they're swarming as soon as the puck heads in his direction. Ovechkin has had difficulty getting the puck with speed or generating any open space for himself.
The Flyers return home in game 6 in what is one of the most difficult arenas to play in for visiting teams. Philadelphia is 6-0-1 in their last 7 home games and Washington is just 5-16-2 in their last 23 games in Philly.
After an up and down season, the Flyers ended strong and are playing very well right now. Look for the Flyers to seal the deal tonight and advance to the next round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs.
