Flyers win in Motown 3-1, Jagr scores in debut

September 24, 2011

After a shootout loss the night before in London, Ontario, the Flyers bounced back in Detroit to beat the Red Wings 3-1.

Detroit's left winger Fabian Brunnstrom (1) scored in the first period to put the Red Wings on the board 1-0 early.

With 2:34 left in the first, James Van Riemsdyk (3) scored to tie the game 1-1.

52 seconds later (1:42 left in the first period) Jaromir Jagr (1), making his pre-season debut as a Flyer, scored to give Philadelphia a 2-1 lead. Jagr also had an assist on the night.

The Flyers would not let go of the lead thanks to great goaltending from Sergei Bobrovsky, who made 23 saves last night.

In the second period with 10:41 remaining, center Matt Read (1) scored an unassisted goal to give the Flyers a 3-1 lead.

Detroit's goaltender Jimmy Howard saved 19 shots, but it wasn't enough to stop Philadelphia. The Flyers won by a final of 3-1.

The Flyers come home to the Wells Fargo Center Monday night for their next pre-season game against the New York Rangers. Puck drops at 7:00 PM.
