PHILADELPHIA -- The Detroit Red Wings ended a couple lengthy skids Tuesday night.One was nearly 20 years old. Thats not the one that mattered to coach Jeff Blashill, though.Andreas Athanasiou tied it midway through the third period and had the only score in the shootout, helping the Red Wings snap a five-game losing streak with a 3-2 victory over the Philadelphia Flyers.Tomas Tatar also scored for Detroit, which ended a 12-game regular season losing streak in Philadelphia dating to Jan. 25, 1997. The Red Wings did win the first two games of the 1997 Stanley Cup Final in Philadelphia on their way to a four-game sweep.Id focus more on this year, Blashill said. The other one has not a whole lot to do with this team.The Red Wings had lost three contests during their skid by one goal.I thought we played well at times in those five games, but we werent getting results, Blashill said. You play good, you have to find a way to get results. And we found a way tonight.Sean Couturier and Claude Giroux scored and Jakub Voracek had a pair of assists for the Flyers.In the shootout, all three Philadelphia skaters -- Travis Konecny, Giroux and Voracek -- missed.Its a valuable point (lost), Flyers coach Dave Hakstol said.After Gustav Nyquist and Frans Nielsen misfired for Detroit, Athanasiou beat Steve Mason on the backhand. Athanasiou pumped his fist along the side boards as his teammates came out to congratulate him.Its definitely a good feeling to end the losing slump and get back on the right track, Athanasiou said. You can see the spirits are already high.Couturier made it 2-1 off a setup by Voracek 6:51 into the third period. After his wraparound attempt was denied by Jimmy Howard, Voracek sent the puck back in front of the net and Couturier poked it home for his fourth goal of the season but first in 11 games.Athanasiou tied it with 8:47 left when he raced past Flyers defensemen Brandon Manning and Radko Gudas before deking around Mason with a forehand shot.I saw a little space, Athanasiou said. Fortunately enough, I got through.Said Hakstol: The pace and speed he attacks with is hard to handle.Mason, making his first start since Oct. 29, made 33 saves.I thought (Mason) was excellent, Hakstol said.Howard made consecutive starts for the first time this season after making 26 stops in Detroits 2-1 home loss to the Edmonton Oilers on Sunday. He stopped 23 shots.The Flyers recorded a 4-3 overtime win over Detroit last Tuesday in Philadelphia.Giroux gave the Flyers a 1-0 lead with a power-play goal 6 1/2 minutes in. Voracek sent a cross-ice pass to Giroux and the Flyers captain went to his knees as he one-timed it high over Howards left shoulder.The Red Wings answered just over two minutes later when Tatar netted his second goal of the season after a Flyers miscue. Philadelphias Brandon Manning attempted to clear the puck from next to his own goal but it was blocked by Henrik Zetterberg, who set up Tatar from behind the net for the point-blank shot.Game notes Red Wings D Tyler Bertuzzi made his NHL debut in place of Thomas Vanek, who missed his seventh game with a lower body injury.

Most important, perhaps, it went off without a hitch. Organizers poked a little fun at the now-infamous opening ceremony gaffe that saw only four out of five snowflakes open up into rings, leaving the Olympics logo one ring short. In a nod to the recently concluded Olympics, degree of difficulty earns BYU forward Ashley Hatch top marks for her execution of one particular soccer maneuver.Put it this way: Hatch has recorded hat tricks against 20 percent of the college programs that have won national championships in her lifetime. And she still has most of a season left to play.In the brava individual performance of the college soccer seasons second week, Hatch scored all three of BYUs goals in a 3-2 win at Penn State on Aug. 26. The same Penn State that was ranked No. 5 in the nation. The same Penn State that didnt allow a goal a season ago in the NCAA tournament (all right, not exactly the same lineup but still a more than capable edition).Penn State hadnt allowed an opposing team to score three goals in a game since the 2014 season, let alone an opposing player. That hadnt happened since Notre Dames Michele Weissenhofer did it in within about 12 minutes of an NCAA tournament game in 2006. It took Hatch a little longer than 12 minutes in the recent game in Pennsylvania, but the surroundings and the importance of the goals are plenty to make her espnWs national player of the week.Hatchs first goal in the sixth minute handed a visiting team an otherwise rare early lead at Penn State for the second game in a row. But unlike the earlier example, when Hofstra scored first but then sank beneath a wave of three consecutive goals by the home team, BYU doubled its lead when Hatch scored in the 57th minute by finding the opposite corner of the net from her first goal.Those ttwo goals alone would have made her a candidate for national honors had the lead held, but Penn State soon pulled level at 2-2 within the span of not much more than four minutes.ddddddddddddPlaying at home, the defending national champion could have been expected to ride such momentum to a third goal and a win against an opponent that is so good at home in Provo, Utah, but far less tested on the road. Indeed, in this case, with the game tied, Hatchs second goal was the only shot on target BYU had to that point in the second half. The Cougars only managed one more, but Hatch put that one in the back of the net, too, a short-distance finish in the 78th minute.And there, for the first time in a decade, was a hat trick at Penn States expense.Hatch registered her first career hat trick against Portland as a sophomore, a performance that further solidified BYUs status as the team to beat in the West Coast Conference once ruled by Portland and Santa Clara (new to the league in 2011, BYU has claimed at least a share of the regular-season WCC title in each of the past four seasons). The Cougars were a North Carolina goal-line clearance from reaching the College Cup in 2012, but Hatch, who also scored both goals in a season-opening win against Washington State, may be the talisman for any extended postseason run this season. More than a goal poacher, she has the complete forward skill set.Just ask the defending champs. ' ' '
