Six losses in a row for the Red Wings

The Flyers ended their four-game winless streak, while the Red Wings' struggles continue. The Red Wings were scoreless on two power-play attempts and allowed a shorthanded goal. They killed Philadelphia's three power-play attempts, even though the Flyers are ranked last in the NHL.

“We definitely want to be in a different situation than we are right now,” said defenseman Moritz Seider in a quiet Wings locker room. “Losing (takes away) on our big goal, making the playoffs, and it's up to us. We didn't play great and then it's just really hard to win hockey games. It's frustrating. We have to stick together and grow even more and finish the season real strong here.”

The Big Picture: Detroit Red Wings' playoff chances are slipping away

The Detroit Red Wings' playoff chances are slipping away as they continue to struggle with consecutive losses. The team needs to start winning games if they want to make it to the playoffs, with only 19 games remaining in the regular season. The recent losses have made it difficult for the team to maintain morale and focus, and it is up to them to come together and finish the season strong. The Red Wings have faced many challenges this season, including injuries and trades, but they need to manage their game more carefully to achieve success. The team must learn from their mistakes and improve if they want to have a chance at the playoffs.
