PHILADELPHIA — The Detroit Red Wings finished a short road trip against an opponent having an even tougher season than them.
The Philadelphia Flyers, sitting below the Wings in the standings, still proved a challenge Sunday evening at Wells Fargo Center. The outing continued what has become a dispiriting demise for the Wings, with their 3-1 loss leaving them with one point during a six-game winless stretch.
Just like the previous day, the Wings were first to score Sunday, with David Perron netting his 16th goal of the season early in the game. And just like against the Islanders, the Flyers tied the game — egregiously enough on a shorthanded chance — and then built a lead.
