Detroit Red Wings Face Off Against Philadelphia Flyers in Tight NHL Matchup

The Detroit Red Wings and the Philadelphia Flyers clashed in an exciting NHL matchup on Thursday, December 12, 2024, at the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia. The Red Wings, coming off a dramatic 6-5 shootout victory against the Buffalo Sabres on Monday, were looking to continue their momentum. In that game, Detroit staged a remarkable comeback, with Andrew Copp and Moritz Seider scoring crucial goals to force overtime and eventually win in a shootout.

The Flyers, meanwhile, were fresh from a 5-3 road win over the Columbus Blue Jackets on Tuesday, a game where the Over (6.5) cashed. Both teams have been involved in a string of close games recently. The Red Wings have played seven straight one-goal games, going 2-3-2 in that span, while the Flyers have seen 10 of their last 16 games decided by a single goal since November 7.

Historically, the home team has had the upper hand in this series, with the home team winning the last five meetings and seven of the last eight. Despite this, the Red Wings hold a slight 5-4 advantage in the past nine meetings. Given these trends, the prediction leaned towards the Flyers to secure a win at home.

The game was broadcast on the FanDuel Sports Network in Detroit and available for streaming on Fubo.
