The Philadelphia Flyers (21-20-6) welcome the Detroit Red Wings (21-21-4) to the Wells Fargo Center on Tuesday night in what promises to be a pivotal matchup between two teams seeking to climb the Eastern Conference standings.
The Flyers enter the contest riding a two-game winning streak and have shown offensive improvement with 20 goals in their last five games, led by the dynamic duo of Travis Konecny and Matvei Michkov who have combined for 35 goals and 52 assists this season.
Detroit arrives in Philadelphia looking to snap a two-game losing skid during which they've managed just two goals total, despite the consistent production from their top line of Lucas Raymond, Dylan Larkin, and Alex DeBrincat who have accumulated 58 goals and 71 assists between them.
Both teams have struggled defensively this season, with Philadelphia allowing 3.36 goals per game and Detroit conceding 3.26, suggesting this matchup could feature plenty of scoring opportunities for both sides.
The similar records and recent form of both teams point to what could be an evenly matched contest, with home ice potentially playing a crucial factor in the outcome.
