The Philadelphia Flyers are on the verge of rescuing what looked like a
lost season. At press time, they're holding down the last Wild Card
berth in the Eastern Conference playoffs at 37-25-13. Philadelphia's
next game is this Wednesday (8 PM ET, NBCSN) against the best team in
the NHL, the 54-16-5 Washington Capitals. Oddsmaker have the Flyers as a
-115 moneyline favorite and the total is sitting at 5.

The Flyers have won eight of their 13 games this month despite having to
go with Steve Mason (.918 save percentage) in goal while Michal
Neuvirth (.925 SV%) was ill with a stomach virus – and after Neuvirth
tore his meniscus the day he returned. Mason has played reasonably well,
though, and aside from Neuvirth and defenseman Michal Del Zotto (torn
wrist ligaments), Philadelphia is relatively healthy for a change.
Washington is projected to start No. 1 netminder Braden Holtby (.923
SV%) on Wednesday. Holtby has enjoyed yet another strong season for the
Caps after finishing fourth in last year's Vezina Trophy race. He'll be
joined by winger TJ Oshie (24 goals, 22 assists), who returned to action
with a power-play goal in Monday's 4-1 win over the Columbus Blue
Jackets (+200 away) after missing two games with an undisclosed illness.
