Farabee ripped a shot on goal at 14:07. After Husso stopped the shot, Adam Erne pushed James van Riemsdyk into Husso and both teams became entangled.

Detroit struck first for a 1-0 lead when Perron connected for his 16th goal of the season at 4:51 of the first period.

The Flyers had numerous scoring chances but couldn't capitalize and went into the locker trailing by one goal.

They finally tied the game at 1 when Deslauriers skated in from center ice all alone and scored short-handed at 6:53 of the second period. It was the 11th short-handed goal of the season for the Flyers, tied for second most in the league.

Cates later redirected a shot from the point in front at 12:57 for a 2-1 Philadelphia advantage.

The Red Wings continued to play a physical style, but struggled getting shots on goal. Former Flyer Robert Hagg had a good opportunity at 13:37 but fired the shot wide.
