Philadelphia — This four-game road trip that everyone felt was going to somehow define the Red Wings is finally over. What we learned about them is, there's still probably much to be learned, although Tuesday's 2-1 overtime loss in Philadelphia gave the Wings a less than .500 trip (1-2-1).

The Philadelphia Flyers will play the Detroit Red Wings tonight. A win in regulation would put the Flyers four points ahead of Detroit in the wild-card standings. However, if the Red Wings win in regulation, they will have the same number of points as the Flyers. Thus, this is a significant game for the Flyers.

The Philadelphia Flyers, surging with momentum and confidence, are set to host the Detroit Red Wings in what promises to be another exciting matchup.
