KEY GAME INFORMATION
WASHINGTON: LAST SEASON: 56-18-8, 120 points. Won Metropolitan Division. Lost to Pittsburgh Penguins in second round.
COACH: Barry Trotz (third season, 18th NHL season).
ADDED: C Lars Eller, F Brett Connolly.
LOST: LW Jason Chimera, C Mike Richards, D Mike Weber.
PLAYER TO WATCH: Alex Ovechkin. The league's leading goal scorer over the past four seasons had 50 last year and at 31 is still counted on to be the Capitals' biggest producer. He has All-Star centers Nicklas Backstrom and Evgeny Kuznetsov to play with, and should continue his career-long streak of scoring 30-plus goals.
OUTLOOK: Running back almost an identical lineup from last season when they won the Presidents' Trophy with the most points in the regular season, the Capitals shouldn't be far off that pace again. Players know after not making it past the second round that they'll be judged on April and May performance ' and perhaps June when the Stanley Cup is decided.
PHILADELPHIA: LAST SEASON: 41-27-14, 96 points. Fifth in Metropolitan Division. Lost to Washington Capitals in first round.
COACH: Dave Hakstol (41-27-14, second NHL season)
ADDED: F Dale Weise, C Boyd Gordon.
LOST: D Evgeny Medvedev; F Ryan White, F R.J. Umberger.
PLAYER TO WATCH: Shayne Gostisbehere. The defenseman burst onto the scene as a rookie with 17 goals and 46 points in just 64 games. With his "Ghost" nickname, he became an instant fan favorite and is one of the core players the Flyers will build around. He has to prove he's no one-season wonder and his body can hold up for all 82 games.
OUTLOOK: The Flyers are celebrating their golden anniversary with a bang. There are tributes and alumni games planned and few teams showcase their history quite like the Flyers. But it's been 40 years since the Flyers last won a Stanley Cup and that number should grow by one this year. The Flyers should make the playoffs as a wild-card entry, but winning a series would make this season a success.
PREVIEW
Flyers look to avenge lopsided loss to Capitals

PHILADELPHIA -- The Philadelphia Flyers don't have to dig deep into their memory banks to remember the last time they faced the Washington Capitals.

After all, they were blitzed 5-0 in Washington on Jan. 15 and were forced to spend a bye week stewing about it.

The two teams who faced each other in the first round of last year's playoffs will butt heads again on Wednesday night. The Capitals (39-12-7, 85 points) have lost two straight but are atop the Metropolitan Division while the Flyers (28-24-7, 63 points) are coming off a 1-2-0 road trip and are trying to decide if they should be buyers or sellers prior to the March 1 trade deadline.

"Last year, nobody would have guessed we'd make the playoffs, and we did," Flyers right winger Jake Voracek told PhillyNews.com. "We are in a better spot this year than last year, points-wise and standings-wise. We just have to keep it going."

A year ago, the Flyers climbed over five teams to nail down the final wild-card playoff berth, where they were eliminated by the Capitals in six games. Goaltender Michal Neuvirth replaced Steve Mason three games into that series and won two contests practically by himself.

Neuvirth (10-7-1, 2.78 GAA, .890 save percentage) is expected to make his fifth straight start for the Flyers since taking over for Mason, who was pulled in that Jan. 15 rout against the Capitals and has not been the same since.

In fact, few Flyers have been very reliable since they went on a 10-game win streak in November and December. Since then, Philadelphia is 9-14-4 and has seen several key players fall into scoring slumps.

Captain Claude Giroux has just one goal and one assist in his last 10 games and is a minus-8 during that stretch. Defenseman Shayne Gostisbehere snapped a long dry spell with three points in Sunday night's 3-2 win in Vancouver. He went into that game with just three points in his previous 14 games.

With 23 games remaining, four different Flyers have a plus-minus rating of minus-20 or worse -- Gostisbehere (minus-22), Giroux (minus-20), Brayden Schenn (minus-20) and Wayne Simmonds (minus-20).

While the Flyers are coming off a weekend win over the Canucks, the Capitals suffered their first back-to-back losses since Dec. 27-29.

Washington went into its bye week on a six-game win streak, but lost consecutive one-goal games in Detroit and New York.

Still, the Capitals have a league-best goal differential of plus-69, far ahead of the Flyers, who have been outscored by 25 this season.

Washington winger Brett Connolly said he's not sure the Capitals need anything at the trade deadline.

"We don't need a top-six forward, that's for sure," he said. "We definitely don't need a new goalie. I don't think we really need anything."

Braden Holtby (29-8-5, 2.01, .926), who was given the day off on Sunday, is expected to be back between the pipes for the Capitals.

Alex Ovechkin, who netted his 27th goal of the season in Sunday's loss, has 31 goals and 18 assists in 43 regular-season games against the Flyers. In his last 19 games, he has nine goals, 13 assists and a plus-4 rating.
