The Flyers are entering this game with 56 points, a 25-17-6 record overall, and they are 14-6-4 in their road games this season where they will be in this game. They are entering this game off a loss against the Tampa Bay Lightning in their last game, losing that one at home 6-3. Cam Atkinson, Jamie Drysdale, and Cam York scored 1 goal for them in that game. Morgan Frost led the team in assists with 2 while Sean Couturier led the team in shots on net in that game with 6.

The Red Wings are entering this game with 53 points, a 24-18-5 record overall, and they are 12-8-4 in their home games this season where they will be in this game.

The current betting odds have the Red Wings listed as a slight favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Red Wings have looked good in their games this season with their 24-18-5 record overall but they are only in 5th place of their division in the East as they are fighting for a Wild Card spot right now. They are only 12-8-4 in their home games this season but they have been really hot in their games lately. They have been slipping down the standings in a competitive division but they are 7-2-1 in their last 10 games and will be looking to climb back into the top 3 of their division. Meanwhile, the Flyers have also looked good in their games this season with their 25-17-6 record overall which has them in 2nd place of their division in the East. They have looked really good in their road games too with their 14-6-4 road record this season. The Flyers have remained in 2nd place in their division but they haven't been at their best lately as they are 6-4-0 in their last 10 games and just took a bad loss on home ice to the Lightning in their last game. The Red Wings have the home advantage in this game and just like the Flyers, they will be looking to bounce back off a loss in their last game, but the Red Wings took a much better 5-4 loss on home ice against the Stars and they will be looking to get those points back here as they have been the hotter team lately. The best way to place a bet here is on the Red Wings to win this game.

“They’re not as deep as they used to be and they rely a lot on their power play. We took two stupid penalties. ... They make you pay. It doesn’t take them much to score on the power play and that hurt us today.” - John Tortorella after his team’s loss against the Lightning in their game on Tuesday.

“That was the difference in the game and probably a little credit to them. But it was on us. Some missed tracks, a couple of turnovers. Some of those things we’ve been kind of eliminating out of our game came back to us in the second against a team that’s simply too good.” - Derek Lalonde after his team’s loss against the Stars in their game on Tuesday.
