Philadelphia @ Detroit preview

Last Meeting ( Feb 16, 2019 ) Detroit 5, Philadelphia 6

The Detroit Red Wings have gone more than 22 years without winning a regular-season game in Philadelphia, and the latest defeat typified their frustrations of that lengthy drought. The Red Wings wasted a stunning comeback with an overtime loss in the City of Brotherly Love on Saturday but get a chance to avenge that defeat when they host the Flyers on Sunday in the back end of a home-and-home series.

The streaking Flyers improved to 11-1-1 in their last 13 overall games and 15-0-1 at home versus Detroit in the regular season dating to Jan. 25, 1997 despite giving up four unanswered goals in the third period of Saturday's 6-5 win. "It feels good to get that one, especially when you have the thought of maybe losing a game that you shouldn't have," Philadelphia's Travis Konecny, who scored in regulation before delivering the game-winner in the extra session, told reporters. While Philadelphia continued its improbable push for a playoff berth, the Red Wings were denied a third straight victory and fell to 7-3 in overtime this season. "We decided to play 18 minutes and we got four goals," Detroit's Anthony Mantha, who scored twice in defeat, told reporters. "We've got good talent in here. I think if we played the right way, we could win games."

ABOUT THE FLYERS (27-24-7): Although rookie goaltender Carter Hart has provided a huge spark, Philadelphia fortified the position late Friday night by acquiring veteran Cam Talbot from Edmonton for fellow netminder Anthony Stolarz. Although Talbot was only 10-15-3 with a 3.36 goals-against average with the Oilers, he posted a league-leading 42 wins in 2016-17 and has spent the past two summers working out with Hart. "That didn't have much to do with it for me," general manager Chuck Fletcher told reporters of the relationship between Talbot and Hart. "It had more to do with Cam being a good goaltender."

ABOUT THE RED WINGS (23-28-8): Returning to the lineup after a seven-game absence due to a concussion sustained in Detroit's last contest entering the All-Star break, Tyler Bertuzzi made an immediate impact by setting up Gustav Nyquist's goal before igniting the third-period comeback with his 14th tally. Mantha, who halted his nine-game drought, matched Bertuzzi's season total with his tying tally with just seven seconds remaining to give him multiple goals in a game for the first time since Nov. 26. Jimmy Howard was pulled in favor of Jonathan Bernier early in the third after giving up all five goals.
