BSH Radio reacts following a 4-3 victory over Detroit

We actually got a contentious, exciting in-conference contest out of a Wednesday Night “rivalry” game, as the weekly national broadcast saw the Philadelphia Flyers beat the Detroit Red Wings 4-3 at the Wells Fargo Center.

Philadelphia moved within two points of the New York Islanders for the final wild card playoff seed, overcoming a disastrous effort in their defensive zone through the first forty minutes to outlast a Detroit squad playing in the second half of a back-to-back (the Red Wings defeated the Islanders 6-3 on Tuesday night).

Sean Couturier set a new career-high for goal scoring, picking up his 16th of the season, the game-winner, in the third period. Brian Elliott was good enough, stopping 25 of 28 shots to earn his 14th win of the season.
