Story of the Day

The Capitals will look to extend their three-game winning streak tonight against the Philadelphia Flyers at 6 p.m. at Wells Fargo Center. Tonight’s contest marks the first game of a home-and-home, back-to-back set with the Flyers. The Capitals will host Philadelphia on Wednesday at Capital One Arena. Washington has a record of 7-2-1 in their last 10 games at Wells Fargo Center. In 2023-24 the Capitals took the season series with the Flyers 2-0-1, which included a 2-1 victory at Philadelphia in the season finale to clinch the Eastern Conference’s Second Wild Card spot.

Since losing their season opener to New Jersey on Oct. 12, the Capitals have won three-straight games. Two of Washington’s three wins have come against Dallas (5-1-0, .833 P%) and New Jersey (5-2-1, .688 P%), who both rank in the top eight in the NHL in point percentage. Tonight against Philadelphia, the Capitals will be seeking their best five-game start to a season since 2015-16 (4-1-0), when they won their first of back-to-back Presidents’ Trophies.

Both Tom Wilson (longest season-opening goal streak) and John Carlson (longest season-opening assist streak) can establish franchise records in tonight’s game. With a goal, Wilson (5g in 4 GP) would set a new club record for longest season-opening goal streak, breaking a tie with Alex Ovechkin (2013), Mike Gartner (1987) and Dennis Maruk (1979). On Oct, 19 at New Jersey, Carlson tied the franchise record for longest season-opening assist streak (5a in 4 GP) and became the first Capitals defenseman to start a season with an assist in four-straight games. An assist against the Flyers would give Carlson sole possession of the record, currently co-held by Brooks Laich (2009), Dale Hunter (1996), Dave Christian (1983) and Ryan Walter (1981).
