Andrew Copp's late goal lifts Detroit Red Wings past Philadelphia Flyers

Michkov opens the scoring

Matvei Michkov gave Philadelphia the opening goal at 17:32 of the first period, batting an airborne puck past Detroit goalie Daniil Tarasov. His finish put the Flyers ahead before the first intermission.

Dylan Larkin hit the post late in the opening period after Philadelphia had taken the lead, leaving Detroit still searching for its first goal.

Johansson converts Larkin's pass

An Owen Tippett turnover preceded Detroit's equalizer in the second period. The Red Wings developed a two-on-one, and Anton Johansson one-timed Larkin's pass at 4:31 to make it 1–1. Larkin had supplied the pass after his own earlier attempt struck the post.

The goal was Johansson's first in the NHL, giving the Detroit rookie a milestone as well as bringing his team level.

Tyson Foerster then tripped a stickless Alex DeBrincat, giving Detroit a power play that spanned the second intermission. The Red Wings did not score, and the tie carried into the third period.

Rasmussen finds Copp

The winning sequence began with Nate Danielson feeding Michael Rasmussen, who carried behind the net. Rasmussen's attempted pass was deflected, but he recovered the puck and immediately passed again to Copp. Copp finished with a tap-in, putting Detroit ahead for the first time.

Copp struck at 15:22.

Detroit finishes in regulation

Nick Seeler tripped Lucas Raymond with 1:29 remaining, and Philadelphia stayed short-handed for the rest of the game.

Oliver Bonk missed a redirection in front at 19:52 of the third period.

Detroit completed the regulation win. Tarasov finished with 17 saves, while Philadelphia goalie Joseph Woll stopped 24 shots. The victory was Tarasov's first since joining Detroit during the summer.
