With the three losses, the Wings are again beginning to drift further away from an Eastern Conference playoff spot, as they did just before the holiday break, which led to the head-coaching change. The inability to gain much positive traction much of the first half of the season put the Wings in a hole that won't be easy from which to dig out.

The Detroit Red Wings lost to the Philadelphia Flyers 2-1 in overtime on Tuesday, extending their winless streak to three games.

Tampa Bay Lightning star Nikita Kucherov joined teammate Victor Hedman in an exclusive club during Saturday's win over the Detroit Red Wings.

The Eastern Conference foes emerged from the first period scoreless, but the Red Wings were outshot by the Flyers, 8-6. Philadelphia broke the ice 5:21 into the second period when Joel Farabee got Sean Couturier’s pass and put it in on his backhand from up close to make it 1-0.

Raymond scored a power-play goal, as the Wings continued their stellar run on the power play (10th game with a goal in 11 games). The Wings were 1-for-6 on the power play. The Wings put 40 shots on Tampa goaltender Andrei Vasilevskiy but in some ways that was a misguided statistic.

TAMPA -- Nikita Kucherov and Jake Guentzel each had a goal and two assists for the Tampa Bay Lightning in a 5-1 win against the Detroit Red Wings at Amalie Arena on Saturday. Kucherov, who recorded his 600th NHL assist in the second period, extended his point streak to eight games (four goals, 10 assists).

Ristolainen scored in overtime and the Philadelphia Flyers defeated the Detroit Red Wings 2-1 on Tuesday night.

Red Wings: Detroit came up one win shy of its first eight-game win streak since Jan. 17-Feb. 5, 2008. Patrick Kane and Alex DeBrincat had their seven-game point streaks snapped in the process.

The honeymoon phase is well and truly over after a rough four-game outing. Now the Red Wings focus on how to move forward.

The Detroit Red Wings return home both a bit deflated and encouraged. They take a three-game winless streak against Atlantic Division rival Montreal Canadiens on Thursday after a day off that will allow them to decompress from playing four games on a six-day trip.

PHILADELPHIA -- Rasmus Ristolainen scored with 26 seconds remaining in overtime and the Philadelphia Flyers extended their point streak to six games with a 2-1 win against the Detroit Red Wings at Wells Fargo Center on Tuesday.
