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.

Cates only had five points in his first 24 games, but he’s been on fire since gaining chemistry with wingers Tyson Foerster and Bobby Brink. The trio have combined to become the Flyers’ best line and one of the best lines in the entire league in terms of driving play and generating chances.

It’s been a week of mostly bad news for the Detroit Red Wings, and not just on the ice or in the locker room. The Wings are treading water in the Estern Conference while the teams they need to beat are on hot streaks.
