What was a three-point lead for the Detroit Red Wings over the Philadelphia Flyers is now only one.

Detroit dropped a 4-3 decision to the Flyers in Philadelphia on Tuesday, and the outcome came down to resiliency, according to head coach Jeff Blashill.

"We didn't show the resilience that you need to show after getting scored on," Blashill said, according to the Detroit Free Press' Helene St. James. "Our D-corps has to be better. We had unforced error for nothing."

Blashill said Detroit started fine - "the first five minutes we were good" - but the team fell apart after the Flyers opened the scoring. "Once we got scored on, we got on our heels way too easy," he said.

Michael Raffl opened the scoring at 5:41 of the first, and Wayne Simmonds scored a little over a minute later. The Flyers ended up outshooting the Red Wings 23-3 in the first period.

Detroit fought back, outshooting Philadelphia 21-9 in the third period, but it was too late.

"Any time you let two goals in, and have to play from being down, it's always tough," Andreas Athanasiou said. "But I think we made a good case coming back."

Problem is, it's the time of year where making "a good case" isn't good enough. Detroit's four-game road trip continues with stops in Columbus on Thursday, Miami on Saturday, and Tampa Bay on Tuesday.
