Wrap Up

The Red Wings suffered their second regulation loss of January on Tuesday and still hold the final playoff spot by two points over the Devils. With three games left in the month, including tonight, if they can find a way to end the month with four more points, they will enter February looking for a chance to return to the Stanley Cup playoffs. Tonight against the Flyers, they are facing another playoff team as the Flyers currently sit in second place in the Metropolitan Division, and this month, the Red Wings are 5-2-1 against teams currently in a playoff spot; a win tonight would be a big step in the right direction to close out the month with the defending Stanley Cup Champions coming to town on Saturday.

In their last ten games against Philadelphia, the Red Wings are 4-6-0 and have been outscored 32-26 in those ten games. The Red Wings and Flyers have split their first two matchups, with Detroit winning at home and Philadelphia winning at home.
