PHILADELPHIA -- Rasmus Ristolainen scored with 26 seconds remaining in overtime and the Philadelphia Flyers extended their point streak to six games with a 2-1 win against the Detroit Red Wings at Wells Fargo Center on Tuesday.

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.

Philadelphia — This four-game road trip that everyone felt was going to somehow define the Red Wings is finally over. What we learned about them is, there's still probably much to be learned, although Tuesday's 2-1 overtime loss in Philadelphia gave the Wings a less than .500 trip (1-2-1).

Ristolainen was the OT hero after a move and a loose puck just trickled by Red Wings goaltender Alex Lyon on a rush and a deke lost by Owen Tippett in the blue paint. They've had their ups, and definitely their downs, but for right now, the Flyers are hanging in there.

The Philadelphia Flyers will play the Detroit Red Wings tonight. A win in regulation would put the Flyers four points ahead of Detroit in the wild-card standings. However, if the Red Wings win in regulation, they will have the same number of points as the Flyers. Thus, this is a significant game for the Flyers.

The Philadelphia Flyers, surging with momentum and confidence, are set to host the Detroit Red Wings in what promises to be another exciting matchup.
