Game Day, Game 57, 7:30PM ET: Philadelphia Flyers at Detroit Red Wings

The Wings look to tie an NHL record by winning their 20th straight home game tonight against the Philadelphia Flyers. Philly scores at about the same pace as Detroit, but they give up a lot more goals. They have had some goaltending issues as of late. The Wings will be facing Sergei Bobrovsky in goal, who is 1-2-0 with a 5.68GAA and a .816SV% in his last 3 games. The Flyers tend to play better on the road than at home for whatever reason, so this should be an interesting match-up. The Wings are rolling the same lineup as they did last game, including Joey MacDonald in goal. 20, please.
