For two periods the Flyers gave the Detroit Red Wings all they could handle at Detroit. Unfortunately, after a ridiculous 36 saves through the first two periods Marty Biron ran out of miracles in the 3rd period. Although he did wind up with an impressive 45 saves, his teammates let him down big time, failing to score in the 3rd period. Late in the first period Scott Hartnell scored for a 1-0 lead. Early in the 2nd period Joffrey Lupul scored for a 2-0 lead. Late in the period Pavel Datsyuk scored to bring Detroit back within 1 at 2-1. Midway through the 3rd period Johan Franzen scored to knot it up at 2. A couple minutes later Henrick Zetterberg scored to put Detroit up 3-2. From there the Flyer's had their chances but could not pull back even and eventually succumbed 3-2 to the Red Wings. So the Orange and Black drop to 37-22-10 overall and are now tied with the Penguins for 4th in the Eastern conference, but they hold the tiebreaker at the moment.
