Red Wings let another game slip late as playoff odds shrink further: 5 thoughts

Detroit — On Thursday the Detroit Red Wings beat the Philadelphia Flyers 6-3 as Dylan Larkin scored three goals and Moritz Seider added a five-point night; later at Little Caesars Arena Columbus rallied, with Adam Fantilli forcing overtime and Zach Werenski scoring the shootout winner in a 4-3 victory. The Flyers win briefly bolstered Detroit's playoff hopes, but the subsequent shootout loss reduced their margin for error with four regular-season games remaining; coaches and players noted defensive lapses and special-teams performance, while Columbus' comeback kept its season alive heading into next week.
