DETROIT _ For the second straight game, Travis Konecny scored a goal 27 seconds into overtime to lift the Flyers to a stunning victory.
Konecny gave the Flyers to a 3-2 win Tuesday night over the Detroit Red Wings at Little Caesars Arena.
The goal was reviewed for offside, but the goal stood.
The Flyers didn't have much success at Detroit's previous two homes, and they hope their first trip to the Red Wings' fancy new digs is a sign of things to come.
The Flyers have won four straight and eight of their last nine.
Detroit's Frans Nielsen scored on a scramble in front with 9:16 to go in the third period to tie the game at 2. Nielsen scored his 11th on just the Red Wings' 15th shot of the night.
A boarding penalty on Robert Hagg gave the Red Wings a power play with 5:27 left in regulation, but the Flyers killed the infraction.
Jake Voracek had a goal and an assist as the Flyers overcame a listless first period and took a 2-1 lead into the third period. It was Voracek 20th multi-point performance of the season.
The Flyers outshot the Red Wings in regulation, 30-21.
Voracek, who leads the NHL with 46 assists, set up Andrew MacDonald's first goal in 29 games, a drive from the high slot, to knot the score at 1 with 18:50 left in the second period. Michael Raffl, who was injured later in the game, set a screen in front.
"Jakey made a great play down low to get it past their winger to the middle of the ice," said MacDonald, whose team hosts Tampa Bay on Thursday in their final game before the all-star break. "Raffy did a great job of taking away the goalie's eyes. There was a lane on the close side and I just tried to get it off quick toward the net."
The goal ended Petr Mrazek's scoreless streak at 145 minutes and 5 seconds.
With 36.4 seconds remaining in the second, Voracek gathered a rebound of Sean Couturier's shot, made a move in front and beat sprawling goalie Mrazek to put the Flyers ahead, 2-1. The Flyers snapped a 0 for 13 power-play slump.
Detroit coach Jeff Blashill challenged the goal, claiming goaltender interference, but it was rejected after a review.
The Flyers dominated the second period, outshooting the Red Wings, 18-7, and had a strong cycle during most of the session. Down the other end, Brian Elliott made point-blank saves on Luke Glendening (shorthanded) and Tyler Bertuzzi in the second.
With 11:12 to go in regulation, Elliott calmly poke-checked the puck from the dangerous Dylan Larkin to ruin his attempt. The speedy Larkin was ahead of the pack.
Detroit played the previous night in New Jersey, so it wasn't surprising that the Red Wings came out flat in the opening period.
It "was surprising that the rested Flyers, coming off an impressive 2-1 overtime win in Washington on Sunday, had no zip in the first 20 minutes. Passes didn't connect. The players looked like they were skating in quicksand. Shots were scarce. Very, very scarce.
When the sleepy first period ended, the Red Wings had a 1-0 lead on a gift goal _ a point drive by defenseman Jonathan Ericsson deflected off Flyers defenseman Brandon Manning's skate and caromed past a startled Elliott with 9:18 left in the session.
It was Ericsson's second goal of the season and his first in 40 games.
The teams combined for nine shots _ five by the Flyers _ in the first period and neither goalie was severely tested, though Elliott had a scary moment when Larkin put a rebound behind him, but it went just wide.
Heading into Tuesday, the Flyers held the first wild-card spot in the oh-so-crowded Eastern Conference playoff race.
One point separated the four teams battling for the two wild-card spots. In addition, the Flyers began Tuesday just one point behind third-place Columbus in the Metropolitan Division and two points behind second-place New Jersey.
The top three teams in the division get automatic playoff berths.
"Every night is so close," coach Dave Hakstol said before the game. "I feel like every night, there's different points in the game that can take it one direction or another ... and if you're not as sharp as you can be, all of a sudden, you can find yourself in a bad stretch of results."
That's what happened to the Flyers during their 10-game losing streak (0-5-5) earlier in the season. They steadied themselves after that skid and have gone 16-5-1 since then.
The Flyers were 8-17-5 at Detroit's old Olympia, and 14-20-5 in regular-season games at Joe Louis Arena.
