Detroit Red Wings News & Notes:

The Red Wings dropped their second straight game on Tuesday in a 5-1 loss to the Penguins. March is over, and the Red Wings sit two points out of first. This game starts a stretch for the Red Wings that they need to win if they want to snap their playoff drought.

Philadelphia Flyers News & Notes:

The Flyers had their three-game winning streak snapped with a 6-4 loss to the Capitals on Tuesday. They like the Red Wings are just barely on the outside of the playoffs; whoever takes two points tonight will pass the other.
