Red Wings

The Red Wings fell in a shootout 2-1 to the Flyers at Joe Louis Arena.  Niklas Kronwall scored for Detroit.  Claude Giroux countered for the Flyers in the third.  The Flyers had a goal waved off with five seconds left in regulation because a leaping Wayne Simmonds was called for goalie interference.  Flyers center Ryan White was ejected the game and was given a match penalty for using his right shoulder to hit Tomas Jurco in the head. White may face additional discipline from the NHL as a repeat offender.  The Red Wings are three points behind Florida in the Atlantic Division and host the Blues on Wednesday.
