There was no third period lead that got away in Tuesday’s game. The Flyers added more insurance and snapped a three-game losing streak as a result.

On Thursday, they get back on the ice at Wells Fargo Center looking to continue what they started in Columbus, as they take on the Detroit Red Wings.

Game time is 7 p.m.
