Philadelphia at Detroit

Detroit comes off a 4-2 upset win over Toronto, but the Red Wings haven't been able to put together a good stretch of games this season and they haven't won two in a row since Nov. 27. Detroit has lost five of six following a win and four of five against teams with losing records. The Red Wings are 5-11 their past 16 versus Metropolitan Division opponents and Philadelphia actually has a slightly better record on the road than at home. The Flyers have won two of three although they did lose 4-1 to Minnesota on Saturday before having three days off. Samuel Ersson is expected to start and he is 3-1-0 with a 2.50 goals-against average in road games this season. Ville Husso is probable for Detroit with a 1-4-2 record and a 3.46 goals-against average. Philadelphia has won five of seven meetings, including 4-1 on Thursday. Take the Flyers.
