Guarding goal in Philadelphia

Rasmus Ristolainen scored in overtime and the Philadelphia Flyers defeated the Detroit Red Wings 2-1 on Tuesday night.

In another tight, who-blinks-first kind of game, the Flyers picked up a 2-1 overtime win Tuesday night over the Red Wings at the Wells Fargo Center.

The Detroit Red Wings lost to the Philadelphia Flyers 2-1 in overtime on Tuesday, extending their winless streak to three games.

It wasn’t a winning effort, but given the Detroit Red Wings’ struggles in the City of Brotherly Love, a point is better than nothing. Rasmus Ristolainen’s goal with 30 seconds left in overtime was the  difference.

Rasmus Ristolainen taps in the game-winner to extend the Flyers’ point streak to a season-high six (5-0-1) games.

PHILADELPHIA -- Rasmus Ristolainen scored with 26 seconds remaining in overtime and the Philadelphia Flyers extended their point streak to six games with a 2-1 win against the Detroit Red Wings at Wells Fargo Center on Tuesday.

Patrick Kane just missed on a scoring chance in overtime and the Flyers came rushing down the other end. Philadelphia's Rasmus Ristolainen tapped in a loose puck in the crease after Owen Tippett's drive was stopped by goaltender Alex Lyon, who made the save but the puck lay in the crease.

A huge key was the Wings' power play, which had so lethal in recent games (power play goals in 10 of their last 11 games). The Wings did score once, with Lucas Raymond scoring his 19th goal, but the Wings couldn't match the two or three power-play goals they had scored six of the last 11 games.

The Philadelphia Flyers defeated the Detroit Red Wings in overtime, 2-1, at Wells Fargo Center on Tuesday evening.

Joel Farabee’s goal at 5:21 of the second period was the only scoring through two periods. He fired in a backhand shot from the slot as the Red Wings were scrambling in their zone. The Flyers had the game’s only power play and didn’t convert.

Ristolainen tapped a loose puck just across the goal line with 4:34 remaining in overtime. Detroit defenseman Moritz Seider tried to clear the puck from in front of the goal but happened to pin it against the post, allowing Ristolainen to have the easy tap-in.
