Red-hot Capitals aim for seventh straight win

Jan 6, 2009 - 1:05 PM Philadelphia (21-10-8) at Washington (26-11-3), 7:00 pm EST

WASHINGTON (Ticker) -- The Washington Capitals are the hottest team in the league, but the Philadelphia Flyers seem to have their number.

The Capitals will seek their seventh consecutive victory Tuesday when they host the Flyers.

Washington has won 11 of its last 12 contests with the lone defeat being a 7-1 loss to Philadelphia on December 20. The Capitals, who have not lost at home since December 2, outshot the Flyers 48-28 in that one.

Alex Ovechkin continues to fuel Washington's offensive attack despite being snubbed from the All-Star Game starting lineup. The reigning Hart Trophy winner has seven goals - including three game-winners - and 10 points over the club's six-game winning streak.

Philadelphia, which eliminated the Capitals from the playoffs in last season's Eastern Conference quarterfinals, has lost three of its last five contests.

Scott Hartnell scored Saturday, but the Flyers suffered a 2-1 shootout loss to the Los Angeles Kings. Philadelphia is concluding a season-long, six-game road swing, going 2-2-1 on the trip so far.
