DETROIT (AP) --- Andrew Copp broke a tie with 4:38 left and the Detroit Red
Wings sent the Philadelphia Flyers to their franchise record-extending ninth
straight loss to start the season, winning 2-1 on Thursday night.
The Flyers dropped to 0-6-3.
After Copp put Detroit ahead with a point-blank shot, the Flyers had one more
chance but Oliver Bonk shot wide from 10 feet with eight seconds left.
The Flyers scored first when Matvei Michkov's baseball swing put a bouncing
puck past Daniil Tarasov with 2:28 left in the first period.
Dylan Larkin set up the tying goal, passing across the slot on a 2-on-1 to set
up Anton Johansson's first NHL goal at 4:31 of the second period.
Johannson is the third Scandanavian rookie to score his first career goal this
season for Detroit, joining fellow Swede William Wallinder and Norwegian
Michael Brandsegg-Nygard.
Tarasov stopped 17 shots. Joseph Woll made 24 saves for Philadelphia.

Flyers: Host Ottawa on Saturday night.
