However, that win will have to wait until another day, as the Flyers won 3-0 at Little Caesars Arena.
Thoughts and Highlights

- Jonathan Bernier stood tall in the first period, making 12 saves. The Flyers outattempted the Red Wings 22-6 at 5 on 5 in the first 20 minutes.
- Scott Laughton finally broke the scoreless tie about midway through the second period.

So many Ls, so little time.
Motor City MVP
Jonathan Bernier
Bernier continues to prove himself as the starting goalie for the rest of this season and, possibly, the foreseeable future. This game could have easily been 4-0 or 5-0, but Bernier stood tall and kept the score close, making 28 saves.
Unfortunately, the Red Wings can’t buy a goal right now.
