Lyon, Red Wings shut out Flyers, hand them 4th loss in row

DETROIT -- Alex Lyon made 30 saves to help the Detroit Red Wings to a 3-0 win against the Philadelphia Flyers at Little Caesars Arena on Thursday.

The shutout was Lyon’s second of the season and third of his NHL career.

“That was a very quiet game, and that’s what he has been giving us,” Detroit coach Derek Lalonde said. “He doesn’t give up rebounds, he gets whistles and he makes the right plays when he handles the puck. He takes away a lot of the chaos.”

Dylan Larkin, Moritz Seider and Andrew Copp scored for the Red Wings (25-18-5), who had lost two of three. Lucas Raymond had two assists.

“These are the kind of meaningful games that we want to be playing,” Seider said. “We want to battle hard, and I think today was a great example of that. We played a really solid team and we shut them down defensively.”

Samuel Ersson made 14 saves for the Flyers (25-18-6), who have lost four straight. They had a 72-47 edge in shot attempts.

“We’re struggling to make plays,” Philadelphia coach John Tortorella said. “We doubled them in shot attempts -- I think we had 75 attempts -- but we’re just not developing much offense.”

After being outshot 9-4 in the first period, the Red Wings scored three times in the second.

Larkin gave them a 1-0 lead at 1:37, putting in a rebound of Raymond’s shot for his 20th goal of the season and extending his point streak to 10 games (13 points; seven goals, six assists).

“We had a lot of possession time in the first, but we needed to get more pucks on net,” Lalonde said. “That’s exactly what happened on that goal -- we had three shot attempts to get it on net and then we get a rebound.”

Seider extended it to 2-0 at 7:15 when his wrist shot from the point deflected off the stick of Philadelphia forward Morgan Frost and past Ersson.

“I saw [Alex DeBrincat] on the far side of the net, so I was trying to get the puck over there,” Seider said. “It hit the stick and just floated in. That’s pretty lucky, but I’ll always take a goal.”

Copp scored short-handed at 10:08 for the 3-0 final when his one-timer from the top of the left face-off circle went in off Flyers defenseman Egor Zamula. It was Copp’s 100th NHL goal.

“Right now, we’re not getting the bounces,” Ersson said. “That’s the way it goes sometimes. We’ve got to fight through this and climb out of this situation.”

NOTES: Larkin became the eighth player in Red Wings history with three point streaks of at least 10 games (Steve Yzerman, 12; Gordie Howe, seven). … Flyers forward Joel Farabee had his NHL career-high streak end at seven games. … Philadelphia forward Cam Atkinson’s six-game point streak ended.
