The next game between the Philadelphia Flyers and the Washington Capitals will be an opportunity to improve on their current head-to-head record, which has been 3-2 in favor of the Flyers in their last five meetings. In their most recent matchup, on September 23rd, 2024, the Flyers showed off their offensive power by beating the Capitals 6-2. On April 17, 2024, the Capitals came back from behind to win a close game 2-1. The Flyers have found ways to score in the past, as shown by their 4-3 and 3-1 wins earlier in the 2023–24 season.
