Game 39: Red Wings 4, Philadelphia 1

Detroit, MI (1/17/70)- The Red Wings won their first game in nearly three weeks, downing the Philadelphia Flyers, 4-1, at Olympia on Saturday night.

The victory snapped a five-game losing streak and was the team's first win since defeating the Oakland Seals on December 28.

Bruce MacGregor broke out of a season-long slump with two goals, while Garry Unger and Wayne Connelly each added a goal.

"Because of the long layoff and our losing streak, we wanted to get off to a good start and we did," said coach Sid Abel of his team, which hadn't played since January 10.

Detroit scored the game's first three goals.

Connelly opened the scoring by blasting a slap shot past Flyers goalie Bernie Parent at 6:56 of the first period. Unger made it 2-0 by burying a rebound at 10:44 while the Red Wings enjoyed a man advantage.

MacGregor scored just his fifth goal of the season at 3:34 of the second period, sliding the puck under Parent as he scrambled to cover the left part of the net.

MacGregor's second goal of the night, a wrist shot, beat Parent to the glove side 35 seconds into the third period to make the score 4-1.

Roger Crozier made 26 saves for Detroit.

"This was the most complete game we've played in a long time," Abel, who shuffled the lines before the game, said.

The Red Wings (17-13-9) stay home to host Los Angeles on Sunday.
