Center Chris VandeVelde, a former UND standout, and left winger Roman Lyubimov each scored their first goals of the season for the Flyers (5-5-1), who have won two in a row. Detroit (6-4-1) suffered its third straight loss, a skid the followed a six-game winning streak.

Frk will join the Red Wings organization as soon as he can.
However, the familiar script of this season continued to play itself out from there, as that game-tying goal seemed to wake up the Red Wings.
“I was exhausted but I think (Red Wings center Gustav) Nyquist was exhausted as well, backchecking”, Voracek said of his sixth goal of the season and first game-winner. Alex Galchenyuk and Brendan Gallagher each had two assists.
“I thought double-A’s first half was really good and I didn’t like the second part of the second period, so he’s got to make sure he plays complete for the whole time”, Blashill said. Weve got to simplify a little more and grind teams a little more.
Chances are the Flyers’ 19-year-old rookie defenseman doesn’t remember that one.
Somehow puck possession has been measured by shots, Blashill said. Check out our Red Wings Xtra app on Apple and Android! Signed to a one-year, $2.6 million “low-risk, high-reward” deal this summer, the Red Wings are being rewarded early.
Murphy has been out since suffering a lower body injury in an exhibition game against Buffalo on October 4. Detroit has enjoyed a solid start to its season, going 6-4 in its first 10 games. The shots were 13-3 for Vancouver after 20 minutes.
Chicago had a chance to add to its advantage when Calgary was whistled for too many men on the ice in the second, but Backlund made a great pass to Frolik for a tying tap-in goal at 7:06.
As of this writing the Red Wings haven’t announced a starter. Frk was the 49th pick of the Red Wings in 2012.
Now, the move has virtually been undone, as Frk will head back to the Griffins, which is what Detroit originally wanted when they waived him in the first place. There are new stars in Detroit – Gustav Nyquist leading the way.
It was their 12th straight regular-season home win over Detroit since 1997. Vanek’s presence on the third line has given the Red Wings three legitimate scoring lines. Two players defensively didn’t do a good enough job to prevent a short-handed goal.
Schenn’s assist was the 200th point of his career.
Detroit Red Wings coach Jeff Blashill and goalie Petr Mrazek talk about new goaltending coach Jeff Salajko on Wednesday, Nov. 2, 2016, at Wells Fargo Center. Surprisingly, he also led the team’s defense corps in TOI/GP, playing an average of 23:44 a night. But if you’re going to make excuses for a slow start, the hectic scheduling to begin this season might be to blame. No penalty was called on the play, and given Schenn’s reaction to it, it appeared to be more of a hit on which he tried to get out of the way and ended up making contact with Smith by accident than a hit on which there was any malicious intent.

For now, the increased role has suited Green well. Hockey Future’s stated Frk has a quality shot and plays with an edge.
