The Detroit Red Wings hoped to avenge a 4-1 loss to the Philadelphia Flyers last week as the Wings hosted the 14-13-and-4 Flyers at Little Caesars Arena on Wednesday evening.
Detroit hoped to build upon Saturday’s win against Toronto as it kick-started a slate of 4 games to be played over the course of the next 6 nights.
