from the Philadelphia Flyers,

CLASSIC HOME & HOME

The Flyers are coming off their last three-day break until the end of the regular season with their ninth back-to-back series beginning today... From here on out, they will play their final 25 games in a 50-day span, which includes five back-to-back series... The Flyers enter a home-and-home series against the Red Wings, which will be played over the weekend and finishing the season series in Detroit on Sunday night... It's the second home-and-home series this season for the Flyers - they swept the first vs. Arizona (Nov. 5-8).

ONE GOAL WONDERS

It's the second of three meetings against the Red Wings with the Flyers earning a 3-2 win on Dec. 18 in goaltender Carter Hart's NHL debut... The Flyers are also unbeaten in regulation against Detroit in their last seven games, going 5-0-2 with all seven meetings decided by one goal, including five of those going past regulation... They also own an impressive 15-game point streak against the Red Wings on home ice by posting a 14-0-1 record with their last regulation loss coming over 22 years ago (Jan. 25, 1997).
