DETROIT — Andrew Copp picked a timely spot to score his first goal.

Copp's goal at 15 minutes, 22 seconds of the third period snapped a tie and helped send the Red Wings to a 2-1 victory Thursday, against the Philadelphia Flyers.

Copp converted a pass from Michael Rasmussen through the crease and knocked the puck past goaltender Joseph Woll, sending the Wings to their second win this season (2-3-2, 6 points).

The Flyers have yet to win a game (0-6-3, 3 points).

Anton Johansson scored his first NHL goal, tying the game 1-1 in the second period. Johansson came out of the penalty box, and after a Flyers turnover, Justin Faulk found Dylan Larkin streaking on a two-on-one rush with Johansson, who one-timed the feed from Larkin past Woll at 4:31.

Goaltender Daniil Tarasov made his second start for the Wings and stopped 17 shots to earn his first victory. Tarasov's best save was with the score tied 1-1 late in the second period, stopping Noah Cates on a two-on-one Flyers rush during a Wings power play.

The Wings were 0 for 3 on the power play, while the Flyers failed on two attempts.

Matvei Michkov scored for the Flyers. Mitchkov knocked in a floating puck past Tarasov for his third goal, at 17:32 of the first period, giving the Flyers a 1-0 lead.

The Wings conclude this second, three-game homestand in seven games Saturday, hosting San Jose.
