The Caps are coming off a bad loss to the Sabres at home in a let-down game after scoring 14 goals and allowing 2 in the previous two games, including a 6-1 win against the Flyers. It is the first game of their road trip and they have performed well on the road. The Caps are 4-1 against the Flyers this season and 3-0 in Philly. Look for the Caps to start off their road trip strong with a win this afternoon.
