    Caps at Flyers Pregame: Always Be Closing

    You know the deal. The Caps failed to finish the Flyers in games four and five. Now, on their home turf, the Flyers have a chance to tie the series and force a game seven.

    We’d rather not see that happen. We’ve got reservations at Olive Garden on Wednesday.

    Puck drops at noon on NBC proper.

    Team Record Possession PDO Power Play Penalty Kill
    Washington Capitals 56-18-8 52.0% 101.1 21.9% (5th) 85.2% (2nd)
    Philadelphia Flyers 41-27-14 50.1% 100.5 18.9% (11th) 80.5% (20th)

    Projected Lineup

    No changes expected.

    Ovechkin – Backstrom – Oshie

    Burakovsky – Kuznetsov – Williams
    Chimera – Richards – Johansson
    Winnik – Beagle – Wilson

    Schmidt – Carlson
    Alzner – Niskanen
    Orlov – Chorney

    Holtby

    About Game Five

    The Capitals played great; they truly did. That they lost was aberration. The Caps seem to know this. They are ready for today. Any panic seems to be limited to fans, and a good deal of said panic seems to be tongue-in-cheek, performative.

    They’ll be fine.

    Storylines

    Let’s keep this brief. Storytime is over.

    • Orpik’s doing better.
    • The Penguins will play the winner of this series.
    • Crash the net.
    • The bandwagon grows.

    • The Washington Post has a flat tire on the side of 95. And the Caps traded Brooks Laich.
