Scott Laughton, Noah Cates lead third-period push in Flyers’ 2-1 win over Red Wings

DETROIT — It took 50 minutes, 59 seconds to build energy and break through Ville Husso’s goaltending, but once the Flyers got on the board, they ran with it to a 2-1 win over the Detroit Red Wings on Saturday.

After starting the day with an energetic morning skate, the Flyers showed little of that jump when the puck dropped. The highlight through the first 20 minutes was their penalty kill, where they aggressively went for pucks and held the Red Wings to zero shots on goal.

To add to the lack of energy, the Flyers also lacked execution. The puck bounced over sticks or off of sticks in the wrong direction. They weren’t able to get inside on offense, and they couldn’t keep the Red Wings outside on defense.
