Patrick Kane scored the go-ahead goal at 7:22 of the third period and the host Detroit Red Wings held on for a 6-4 win over the Philadelphia Flyers on Wednesday night.

J.T. Compher and Lucas Raymond each added a goal and an assist, while Alex DeBrincat, Michael Rasmussen and Joe Veleno supplied the other goals. Dylan Larkin notched two assists for Detroit, which has won three of its last four.

Alex Lyon, playing in his first game since Nov. 25, stopped 15 shots.

Travis Konecny, Noah Cates, Ryan Poehling and Owen Tippett scored for the Flyers, who are 2-4-1 in their last seven. Samuel Ersson made 18 saves.

The Flyers scored just 1:06 into the contest. Konecny scored on a breakaway, backhanding the puck through Lyon’s legs. Joel Farabee and Sean Couturier had the assists.

The Wings got a four-minute power play late in the period when Tippett was called for a double-minor for high sticking.

Compher scored his first goal in 22 games during that extended man-advantage, tipping in a pass from Dylan Larkin.

The Red Wings grabbed a 2-1 lead with 9:45 remaining in the second period. Kane skated into the right circle and flicked a pass to the opposite circle, where DeBrincat one-timed it past Ersson.

Philadelphia tied it 25 seconds later as Cates redirected a Tyson Foerster shot.

Detroit regained the advantage with 3:55 left in the period. Compher won a faceoff and Rasmussen ripped a shot that eluded Ersson’s glove.

Just over a minute later, Veleno made a steal in his own zone, leading to a breakaway. He got a return pass from Christian Fischer and lifted a shot that landed just inside the crossbar to make it 4-2.

Poehling scored in front off a Couturier feed at 3:50 of the third period to cut Detroit’s lead to 4-3. Tippett tied it less than two minutes left when he brought the puck into Detroit’s zone, skated around Lyon and deposited the puck into the net.

The Wings took a 5-4 lead on Kane’s first goal in 11 games. He fired a shot from the left circle off a Moritz Seider pass.

Raymond added an empty-netter.
