Thomas Greiss made 32 saves to lead Detroit to a 4-2 home win over Philadelphia on Saturday afternoon, the Red Wings' second victory against the Flyers in four days.

Tyler Bertuzzi, Filip Zadina, Moritz Seider and Michael Rasmussen each scored for Detroit, which has won three of its last four games including Wednesday's 6-3 win in Philadelphia. Dylan Larkin had three assists.

Keith Yandle and Scott Laughton scored for the Flyers, who outshot the Red Wings 34-23.

Detroit opened the scoring just 5:36 into the first period when Bertuzzi took a cross-ice pass from Robby Fabbri and chipped the puck past Philadelphia goalie Carter Hart for his 23rd goal of the season.

With 10:23 remaining in the second period, Detroit took a 2-0 lead after Zadina skated between the face-off circles and fired a shot that slipped underneath Hart's arm.

The Flyers got back into the game with 7.5 seconds remaining in the second period on a power-play goal by Yandle, who fired a shot from near the point that went underneath the crossbar to make it 2-1.

In the third period and on their first power play of the game, the Red Wings regained a two-goal lead when Seider fired a shot that ricocheted off both goal posts to make it 3-1 with 10:55 remaining.

Philadelphia quickly answered, cutting Detroit's lead to 3-2 just 44 seconds later when Laughton tapped home a loose puck after Greiss failed to corral a shot from Travis Konecny.

But Detroit put the game away with 1:39 remaining as Rasmussen skated in all alone into the Flyers' zone and fired a puck into an empty net.
