Todd McLellan confirms tonight's starting goaltender vs. Flyers

The Red Wings have confirmed that it will once again be Alex Lyon in goal, as he and his teammates hope to rebound from Sunday night's 5-1 loss.

After winning 8-of-10 games under new coach Todd McLellan, the Detroit Red Wings have suddenly fallen back into a difficult stretch.

They've dropped consecutive games for the 1st time under McLellan, losing by a combined 9-2 score against the Tampa Bay Lightning and Dallas Stars. They're now 5 points back of a Wild Card postseason position.

Following Sunday's 5-1 loss to the Dallas Stars, the Red Wings are going right back to Alex Lyon in goal, meaning he'll be making consecutive starts.

Tonight, the Red Wings take on the Philadelphia Flyers at Wells Fargo Center (7:00 PM, FanDuel Sports Detroit, 97.1 The Ticket).
