The Detroit Red Wings secured a 6-4 victory over the Philadelphia Flyers at Little Caesars Arena, marking their first consecutive wins since late November and equaling their season-high goal total. Goaltender Alex Lyon returned from a lower-body injury, facing 19 shots. Patrick Kane broke an 11-game goalless streak, scoring the tie-breaking goal in the third period and assisting on another. Lucas Raymond contributed with an empty-net goal and an assist, while J.T. Compher, Alex DeBrincat, Michael Rasmussen, and Joe Veleno also scored. Despite playing with only five defensemen due to Simon Edvinsson's injury, the Red Wings held off the Flyers, who had tied the game early in the third period. The Flyers' goals came from Ryan Poehling, Owen Tippett, Noah Cates, and Travis Konecny. The Red Wings look forward to upcoming games against the Montreal Canadiens.
