Philadelphia comes into tonight’s game looking for their third straight victory at home. And their 4th in 5 games. The Wings will be hoping for a repeat performance from goalie Zach Higgins.

The Wings return home to the Wells Fargo Center

First Half

The Wings led by one after a back and forth first quarter. The New York offense was busy putting up 20 shots but could only muster 3 goals. Philadelphia however, seemingly had an answer for every New York surge. The Second quarter was a defensive battle. Each team scored a goal and the Wings held a 1 score lead until a minute left in the half when the Riptide tied things up a 5 to finish the half.

Second Half

The Wings came with pure intensity in the second half. The defense was suffocating and the offense was on fire. They turned a one goal deficit into a three goal lead by the end of the 3rd quarter. The 4th quarter was more of the same as Cory Vitarelli scores again and the Philadelphia lead ballooned to 8 in the blink of an eye. The home team was in complete control for the rest of the night as they battered the opposing goalie in to submission and he was finally pulled after the Riptide surrendered 9 unanswered goals.

Final Score: Wings 14 Riptide 6
