DETROIT (AP) — Marco Kasper scored twice, Lucas Raymond had a goal and three assists, and the Detroit Red Wings rallied to beat the Los Angeles Kings 5-2 on Monday night.
Elmer Soderblom scored his first goal of the season and Alex DeBrincat also scored as Detroit erased a 2-0 first-period deficit. Cam Talbot stopped 23 shots to improve to 8-1 in January.
Quinton Byfield and Kevil Fiala scored for the Kings, and Darcy Kuemper had 23 saves.
Byfield was credited with a goal in the first period when Red Wings defenseman Moritz Seider took a backhanded swipe at the puck off a faceoff in Detroit’s zone. The puck squirted between Talbot’s skate and the goalpost.
FLYERS 4, DEVILS 2
PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Bobby Brink, Joel Farabee and Garnet Hathaway scored to help Philadelphia build a three-goal lead and they held on to beat New Jersey.
Scott Laughton had a goal and an assist to help the Flyers snap a two-game losing streak and win the opener of a home-and-home set. Travis Konecny and Rasmus Ristolainen each had two assists, and Samuel Ersson stopped 31 shots in Philadelphia’s fourth straight home win.
Dougie Hamilton and Timo Meier scored for New Jersey, which has lost both meetings with Philadelphia this season. The teams meet again in New Jersey on Wednesday.
Hamilton got the Devils on the scoreboard with 1:13 left in the middle period, and Meier pulled New Jersey within a goal with 1:22 left in the third by scoring on a slap shot during a 6-on-5 situation.
However, Laughton’s empty-netter with 14.7 seconds left clinched the Flyers’ win.
