Flyers vs. Red Wings Prediction

I’m on Detroit here. The Red Wings are just playing the better hockey right now and Philadelphia at times looks like they couldn’t stop a beach ball. Detroit tends to play their better hockey at home and while the Flyers have had success on the road, I don’t know if that’ll be enough to stop the slide especially with it being the Samuel Ersson show now with Carter Hart out indefinitely. Give me Detroit here.
