They\u2019ve already blown their first two chances at\u00a0eliminating the Philadelphia Flyers, and are another loss away from\u00a0being forced into a do-or-die Game 7 on Wednesday. The Caps can\u2019t let that happen, needless to say.<\/p>\n<p>In order to do so, this team has to continue pressing hard offensively like it did in Game 5, where coach Barry Trotz\u2019s boys had a total of 82 shot attempts. Their superstar Alex Ovechkin, in particular, did everything he could to carry the Caps to victory, finishing with eight shots on goal and eight hits. However, Flyers goaltender Michal Neuvirth got the better of him.<\/p>\n<p>Ultimately, it\u2019s going to be tough for the Caps to score if Neuvirth doesn\u2019t cool off. But so long as they remain very aggressive on offense, the puck\u2019s going to find its way into the net eventually. The Caps are attempting <a href=\"http:\/\/espn.go.com\/nhl\/statistics\/team\/_\/stat\/scoring\/sort\/avgShots\/year\/2016\/seasontype\/3\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"broken_link\" rel=\"nofollow\">31.4 shots per game<\/a> in this series, while the Flyers are only averaging 25.8 shots per contest.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Braden Holtby will continue to mind the net for the Caps. He\u2019s done a superb job in doing so throughout the series, turning aside 123 of 128 shots in total. It was only during Game 4 that he surrendered more than one goal.\u00a0 Holtby also holds a 1.97 GAA across 20 postseason games.<\/p>\n<p>Washington has won just once in its last nine opportunities to close out a playoff series.<\/p>\n<h3>Betting on the Philadelphia Flyers<\/h3>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-106221 size-full\" title=\"Capitals-vs-Flyers-Series-Game-6-Predictions-Picks-and-Odds\" src=\"http:\/\/topbet.eu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/Shayne-Gostisbehere-celebrates-his-first-playoff-goal.jpg\" alt=\"Shayne Gostisbehere celebrates his first playoff goal\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"http:\/\/topbet.eu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/Shayne-Gostisbehere-celebrates-his-first-playoff-goal.jpg 600w, http:\/\/topbet.eu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/Shayne-Gostisbehere-celebrates-his-first-playoff-goal-250x167.jpg 250w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The Philadelphia Flyers live to fight another day, and it\u2019s all thanks to another fantastic performance from Michal Neuvirth in last Friday\u2019s Game 5.<\/p>\n<p>Neuvirth, who was making his second start in this postseason, made a playoff career-high of 44 saves to ultimately beat the Washington Capitals, 2-0.\u00a0 And prior to that game, the eight-year veteran\u2019s efforts were also worth noting, as he turned aside 31 of 32 shot attempts in Game 4.<\/p>\n<p>Another similar outing from Neuvirth might just allow the Flyers to even the series up at three wins apiece. But of course, they\u2019ll need to get things going on the offensive end as well to pull off another huge win in Game 6.<\/p>\n<p>Having that said, look to Claude Giroux, Wayne Simmonds and Shayne Gostisbehere to lead the charge in doing so, and to\u00a0sustain the confidence of their group.<\/p>\n<p>Giroux led the Flyers in points (67) and assists (45) during the regular season, and has been quiet in this series overall. But a trip back to the City of Brotherly Love might finally be able to help him finally find his groove. Giroux, the team\u2019s captain, has accumulated a total of 33 points (eight goals, 33 helpers) across 40 home games this year.<\/p>\n<p>Simmonds and Gostisbehere, meanwhile, will look to bounce back from a relatively silent performance in Game 5. They\u2019ll likely be trying to replicate their performance during Game 4, wherein both posted two points apiece. Gostisbehere also scored his <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=CUq_Mg7rVTg\" target=\"_blank\">first career playoff goal<\/a> in that game.<\/p>\n<p>Philadelphia has won seven of its last three games at home.<\/p>\n<h3>Writer\u2019s Prediction<\/h3>\n<p>Flyers (<strong><a href=\"http:\/\/topbet.eu\/sportsbook\/nhl\" target=\"_blank\">+150<\/a><\/strong>) force a Game 7.
