The Red Wings have still won seven of the last 10 games, and their offense has picked things up. The Red Wings have scored three or more goals in eight of their last 10 games. The Red Wings also beat the Flyers last month, scoring six goals. The Philadelphia Flyers have had far more spotty results recently, and they get blasted defensively in losses.
