In another tight, who-blinks-first kind of game, the Flyers picked up a 2-1 overtime win Tuesday night over the Red Wings at the Wells Fargo Center.
Rasmus Ristolainen scored the OT winner with 26 seconds left. Joel Farabee netted the Flyers' other goal and assisted Ristolainen's marker.The Flyers are on a season-best six-game point streak . They've outscored opponents 22-10 over the run. Since their 1-5-1 start to the season, they've gone 21-15-5.
Ersson survived a bit of a scare later in the period when he came out to play a puck and turned it over to the Red Wings. However, Detroit failed to execute on a 2-on-1 as Ersson hustled back to his net. "Ers has steadied himself, looks so much more confident," Tortorella said."He's not busy. When I evaluate Ers, in my mind, just watching him play, when he's not busy and the puck's hitting him, you can tell he's there. He made some key saves at the end to give us an opportunity."
It was an excellent secondary assist, giving Michkov a point in five of the last six games. The 20-year-old rookie has 14 goals and 20 assists through 46 games.
