Rogers' Free Play
(NHL) Detroit vs. Philadelphia,
Money Line: 123.00 Detroit (Away)
Result: Loss
1* Free Play Red Wings …

The Philadelphia Flyers had a three-game winning streak come to an end with a 4-3 shootout loss at Florida Saturday. I think they're in for another tough game as they host the Detroit Red Wings Tuesday night.

Here are my keys to the game:

1. Situational - Detroit is three points ahead of Philly for the last wild card in the East. It has won two of its last three games, all decided by just one goal and this will surely be a tight match-up likely to be decided after regulation.

2. Petr Mrazek - The Red Wings netminder has gone 2-1-0 with while yielding just a total of five goals on 77 shots in his last three starts. He made 33 saves in a 2-1 shootout loss against the Flyers on January 17.

3. X-Factor - This is a tough spot for Philly which has a match-up at Chicago on deck tomorrow. Detroit on the other hand will have a day off before facing the Blue Jackets at Columbus Thursday.

Selection: This is a play on the Detroit Red Wings (Free)
