Detroit, Mich. - Stephen Weiss notched his third goal of the season past Steve Mason as the Detroit Red Wings take and hold a 1-0 lead over the Philadelphia Flyers after the first period of play Wednesday night.
Pavel Datsyuk won the faceoff seconds before in the right circle and after an exchange of passes between Jakub Kindl and Darren Helm, the puck came into the path of Weiss, who fired from close range to Mason's right.
Jimmy Howard and Steve Mason both faced 7 shots in goal respectively, Howard stopping them all and Mason allowing 1.
Detroit (11-5-5, 27 pts) took the man-advantage at 15:35 when Michael Raffl cross-checked Xavier Ouellet.
Jonathan Franzen tried twice on Mason in those two minutes, a close range blast as he was falling that hit the goalie's right pad and a wrister from long range a half-minute later that went wide. But the Flyers kept Detroit off the board in that time.
Philadelphia (8-9-3, 19 pts) enjoyed two power-plays in the first session, after Detroit's Jonathan Ericsson tripped Wayne Simmonds 1:28 into the game, and when, at 13:08, Henrik Zetterberg held team points-leader Jakub Voracek.
The Flyers went 0-for-2 with the advantage against Detroit's 2nd-ranked penalty-kill, though led the Red Wings 11-7 in faceoff wins.
