The first game back home after a trip West is a challenge: The travel plus the time-zone change makes for a grind.
There wasn't much going for the Detroit Red Wings or the Philadelphia Flyers early on Saturday, with the sides playing an uneventful game over the first two periods at Little Caesars Arena. There were maybe a dozen scoring chances between the teams the first two periods. An error by the Wings marred an otherwise even performance, and they wound up losing, 2-1.
Scott Laughton got in behind the Wings defense midway through the third period, turning a pass from Kevin Hayes into a goal.
