Facing the league’s best team proved to be too much for the Flyers in the end, with the Flyers dropping a 2-1 decision in a shootout to the Washington Capitals, but not before a highly competitive and entertaining game at Wells Fargo Center on Wednesday night.

The Flyers will be back on home ice, where they enter play on Wednesday with a 6-1-1 record, but get the task of facing the NHL’s best team, the Washington Capitals.

Over the next few days, we will look at centers, wingers and defensemen, as well as the possibility of the Flyers trading the pick during the first night of the draft. We continue our previews with the wingers.

The Capitals didn’t win Thursday’s game with their stars, but their depth, getting good goaltending when they needed it and players to step up. For the Flyers, it was a reminder that a young defense can still pay the price for costly mistakes and that the depth needs to improve.

The Washington Capitals return to Wells Fargo Center as the Flyers look to keep the momentum going after back-to-back wins.

The Capitals scored twice in the first period and added three quick goals in the second to put the game away early and held off the Flyers comeback in a 5-3 win on Wednesday night at Wells Fargo Center.

On Wednesday night, the division leaders come to town, as the Flyers face the Washington Capitals.

Three second period goals paced the Washington Capitals to the win, despite a late push from the Flyers. The 5-3 defeat was the eighth straight loss for the Flyers.

The Flyers face the Metro-leading Washington Capitals on Tuesday night on the road, trying to avoid an eighth-straight loss.
