The Detroit Red Wings missed the chance to make franchise history on Saturday, losing 2-1 to the Philadelphia Flyers and ending their three-game win streak over the Flyers.
Why it Matters
The Flyers and Red Wings have been playing against each other since 1967, and in that time, Detroit has never won four regular-season games in a row against the Flyers.
Red Wings vs. Flyers By the Numbers
- The Flyers and Red Wings have played in 148 regular-season games, and the Red Wings have never won four in a row against the Flyers.
- Flyers center Scott Laughton opened the scoring midway through the third period and scored the game-winner in the Flyers’ last victory over the Red Wings on February 3, 2020.
- Detroit forward Lucas Raymond scored his 15th goal of the season with 41.6 seconds left in regulation.
- Raymond has seven goals in the past 11 games and has improved his overall game, from not scoring in his first seven games to being a consistent offensive threat.
What They’re Saying
- “It’s pretty good I think,” said Detroit forward Lucas Raymond on his current game. “The biggest thing for me is just trusting what I do and sticking with it.”
The Bottom Line
The Red Wings had a chance to make history, but the Flyers were able to end their winning streak. Detroit forward Lucas Raymond continues to impress, scoring his 15th goal of the season with 41.6 seconds left in regulation.
