(Sports Network) - The Philadelphia Flyers will try to build on their first home win in over two months tonight, when they welcome the Detroit Red Wings to the Wachovia Center.

The Flyers, who are 4-15-7 as the host club this year, snapped a franchise- record 13-game home losing streak Saturday against the St. Louis Blues. It was the first victory in Philadelphia for the Flyers since they beat Columbus on November 24.

Simon Gagne was the hero for Philadelphia on Saturday, as he scored late in the third period to tie the game and then tallied again 27 seconds into overtime to give the Flyers a 4-3 triumph. It was the second straight two-goal game for Gagne, who scored twice and eventually had a hat trick taken away from him in Philadelphia's 5-4 shootout loss to Pittsburgh on Thursday.

Go Wings!

I really believe so. Go Wings for sure!!!

 

[Juggnoxalo]

This game is also on VS, that's what I'll be watching it on.

I say Wings win 4-1, but I really need them to lose because they are right behind my predators tapping them on the shoulder. (points wise)

 

[datsyukdangler1]

Lucky you guys. I don't get Versus or any of those channels. I have to watch it online.

[Juggnoxalo]

That was one fun third period to watch if you hate Detroit. Drank some liquor and had a blast to that one. Everytime philly scored I chugged some Captain Morgans.

 

[BE-LEAF-ABLE]

I knw Philly's been coming on a itas of late, but seeing the score go from 1-1 after the 2nd to 6-1 after the 3rd was just unreal.

In the words of, um... somebody:

"That ain't right."

 

[datsyukdangler1]

Yeah, it was pretty harsh for Detroit fans last night. Flyers are going to start lighting things up now that Forsberg is back. That's my opinion at least.
