Having shaken off that pesky losing streak, the Caps got back in the win column with a solid victory over the Florida Panthers Tuesday night. Now they head up I-95 for their final road game before the 4 Nations break to take on their Metro Division rivals in Philadelphia, facing a Flyers team currently mired in a four-game losing streak of their own. Just another middling team that always seems to get their best game up for the Caps, so the good guys will need to be ready for Tortorella’s team.

First, some admin stuff:

Ovechkin – Strome – Wilson
Protas – Dubois – McMichael
Raddysh – Eller – Frank
Duhaime – Dowd – Mangiapane

Sandin – Carlson
Fehervary – Roy
Chychrun – van Riemsdyk
