RED WINGS 6, FLYERS 4
Patrick Kane scored the decisive third-period goal and added an assist as the Detroit Red Wings beat the Philadelphia Flyers on Wednesday night.
J.T. Compher and Lucas Raymond also contributed a goal and an assist each.
Alex DeBrincat, Michael Rasmussen and Joe Veleno had the other goals for the Red Wings.
Compher’s power-play goal was his first in 22 games and fourth this season.
His previous goal came on Oct. 27 against Edmonton.
Compher scored a career-best 19 goals in 77 games with Detroit last season.
Alex Lyon, playing in his first game since Nov. 25, stopped 15 shots. He was sidelined the previous nine games due to a lower-body injury.
Travis Konecny, Noah Cates, Ryan Poehling and Owen Tippett scored for the Flyers, who trailed 4-2 after two periods but tied it at 4 early in the third. Samuel Ersson made 18 saves.
Detroit played with five defensemen in the last two periods after Simon Edvinsson departed with an upper-body injury.
MAPLE LEAFS 5, STARS 3
Nicholas Robertson scored the go-ahead goal and assisted on another against his older brother’s team, William Nylander scored twice and the Toronto Maple Leafs beat the Dallas Stars.
Joseph Woll stopped 38 shots for the Atlantic Division-leading Maple Leafs, who won for the fourth time in five games.
Robertson made it 3-2 with an unassisted goal at 5:31 of the second period, only 16 seconds after Nylander’s first goal tied the game. The 23-year-old Robertson assisted on Bobby McMann’s goal later in the second, when 25-year-old Jason Robertson was on the ice for the Stars.
McMann’s goal was the fourth for Toronto in its first eight shots against Jake Oettinger, who on his 26th birthday lost for only the second time in 14 starts this season at the American Airlines Center. Casey De- Smith replaced him in net to start the third period.
Evgenii Dadonov and Sam Steel scored for Dallas.
Steel’s shot over Woll’s right shoulder made it 1-0 only 5:14 into the game, but Toronto tied it on Max Domi’s score 59 seconds later.
Jamie Benn played in his 1,143th career game, one more than Hockey Hall of Famer Mike Modano for the most for the Stars since moving to Dallas in 1993.
