Detroit Red Wings remain stuck in winless streak, lose at Philadelphia…

PHILADELPHIA — The Detroit Red Wings finished a short road trip against an opponent having an even tougher season than them.

The Philadelphia Flyers, sitting below the Wings in the standings, still proved a challenge Sunday evening at Wells Fargo Center. The outing continued what has become a dispiriting demise for the Wings, with their 3-1 loss leaving them with one point during a six-game winless stretch.

Just like the previous day, the Wings were first to score Sunday, with David Perron netting his 16th goal of the season early in the game. And just like against the Islanders, the Flyers tied the game — egregiously enough on a shorthanded chance — and then built a lead.

It helped that Ville Husso was back in net after being out one game with a lower-body injury, but the Wings as a whole didn’t have their best effort, and back-to-back penalties by Perron and Moritz Seider around the midpoint of the third period didn’t help. The Wings had to resort to pulling Husso for an extra attacker with a little more than two minutes to go, and Scott Laughton took advantage to score an empty-net goal.

The Wings had a good first period, building a lead when Perron finished a back-and-forth with Andrew Copp to score just short of five minutes in. That was Perron’s 16th goal of the season. The Wings also killed a penalty to Dominik Kubalik — the Flyers got two shots on net, but they never really threatened, there’s a reason their power play is ranked last in the NHL.

Put it on Carter Hart that the Wings only came out of the period with a 1-0 lead; he was on top of his game, stopping multiple quality chances among 10 total. Husso…
