As the Red Wings arrived in Philadelphia, the Flyers were officially firing their head coach, Dave Hakstol.
The Flyers announced that Scott Gordon, who was coaching the Flyers' AHL affiliate, the Lehigh Valley Phantoms, would coach the NHL team the rest of the season.
"First, Dave Hakstol's an excellent coach," Wings coach Jeff Blashill said after Detroit's practice at Wells Fargo Center. "I've known him a long time, coached against him a long time and he's an excellent coach. It's an unfortunate part of the business for certain.
