Red Wings stave off Flyers comeback, get 2 goals from Vrana in 6-3 win

Special to The Detroit News

Detroit — The Red Wings saw their 3-0 lead whittled down to a one-goal advantage, and momentum had swung to the Flyers here Tuesday night.

The next goal scored at Little Caesars Arena was going to be big, and Jakub Vrana’s second goal of the game at 18:51 of the second period indeed paved the way to a 6-3 victory that made Detroit 3-0 against Philadelphia this season.

Dylan Larkin, getting the 350th assist of his career, made a deft pass cruising in from the left on goalie Carter Hart, and Vrana swooped in from the right for a one-timer that gave him five goals in seven games since returning from shoulder surgery.
