DETROIT -- Brayden Schenn completed an outstanding weekend and helped the Philadelphia Flyers reach their longest winning streak in over two decades.Schenn scored in overtime and Anthony Stolarz got his first shutout in his second NHL start, lifting the Flyers over the Detroit Red Wings 1-0 on Sunday night for their ninth straight win.Its Philadelphias longest streak since winning nine straight in April 1995.Schenn had three power-play goals in a 4-2 win over Dallas on Saturday, then scored 2:44 into OT against Detroit for his eighth goal of the season.Schenn cut in off the left wing, skated across the top of the crease, faked a backhand shot and slid in the winner.The 22-year-old Stolarz is the youngest Flyers goalie to post a shutout since Dominic Roussell on Feb. 27, 1992. He made 28 saves, helping Philadelphia outlast Jimmy Howard and the Red Wings. Howard made 34 saves in his first start since Nov. 23.Its exciting, thats for sure. I couldnt have drawn it up any better and when youre a kid dreaming of playing at Joe Louis Arena, Stolarz said. Its something you cant even put into words. Im excited, but Im more excited to have the win streak going.The Red Wings got their first point at home since Dec. 1. They have only 20 goals in their last 12 games at Joe Louis Arena, in which they are 2-7-3.I thought we did a lot of good things. The only thing thats missing is goals, Red Wings captain Henrik Zetterberg. I thought we were playing good structure, forechecking well, playing good in our own end. Howies (Howard) good again. The only thing we were missing is goals.Howard dropped his goals-against average to 1.68.Its not about being perfect out there. I dont think anyone can be perfect, Howard said. Its about going out there and making saves and making timely saves. Its unfortunate that they were able to get one past me.Howard stopped Pierre-Edouard Bellemaire from the bottom inside edge of the right circle 1:53 into overtime.Detroit defenseman Xavier Ouellet and Philadelphias Michael Raffl got fighting majors 8:03 into the third period. Ouellet got in more punches and received a 2-minute instigator penalty after Raffl landed a hit on Steve Ott.Stolarz denied Andreas Athanasiou on a breakaway chance at 3:43 of the third period after earlier poking the puck off Frans Nielsens stick on Nielsens breakaway attempt.Howard made an outstanding save on a 1-on-1 situation against Nick Cousins about eight minutes into the second period after Cousins stole the puck from Detroits Riley Sheahan in the slot area.NOTE: Philadelphia D Shayne Gostisbehere didnt play after injuring his hand in Saturdays 4-2 win over Dallas. He is day-to-day. ... Detroit D Jonathan Ericsson missed his second game with back spasms. ... Flyers D Matt Read missed the game with an upper-body injury. ... The Red Wings were also without Darren Helm (upper body), Brendan Smith (lower body), Tyler Bertuzzi (ankle) and Justin Abdelkader (lower body).UP NEXT:Flyers: Visit Colorado on Wednesday night.Red Wings: Host Arizona on Tuesday night. Tommy Burleson Jersey . LOUIS -- Valtteri Filppula assisted on three of Tampa Bays four goals, and the Lightning beat the St. Eddie Johnson Jersey . The home side created most of the chances but struggled to break down Braunschweigs resilient defence, resulting in the Bundesligas 1,000th scoreless draw. https://www.supersonicsjerseys.com/ . Down by seven with 90 seconds left in regulation, thats where they looked comfortable. Kevin Durant Jersey . - Goaltender Philippe Desrosiers of the Rimouski Oceanic has broken a shutout record that was only three months old in the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League. Tom LaGarde Jersey . PETERSBURG, Fla. If Kagiso Rabada were a little older but not quite as wise, or the WACA pitch a little flatter but with not quite as much carry, South Africas 21-year old bowling superstar may not have had the success he did. But youth and circumstance allowed him to prove himself a champion bowler, in the words of his captain Faf du Plessis, and bowl a 10-man South Africa side to the unlikeliest of victories.I am incredibly proud of KG. He just wanted the ball, du Plessis said. Every time I said, Are you tired?, he said, No, youre not taking the ball out of my hand. Thats the sign of a champion bowler for me. He wants to be in the fight the whole time.Rabada bowled 51 overs in the match, almost ten more than his seam-bowling partner Vernon Philander. In the second innings, his twin spells of eight overs at the beginning and end of the day broke the back of Australias attempt to save the match. If that wasnt enough, he returned on the final morning for six more overs of high quality to complete a five-for. In all that, Rabada never thought it was getting too much.It was challenging but Ive done this before, at Kent. There are flat wickets there. At least here the ball is bouncing now, Rabada said. Ive got that experience in my body but I am young. If I was older, I dont know if Id have done that much.The pick of Rabadas efforts came late in the afternoon on the penultimate day. Despite flagging energy, his speeds were above 140, the line was perfect outside off stump and the movement he generated made wickets inevitable. First Steven Smith fell and then Rabada produced a near-perfect over to Adam Voges.I enjoyed that over, with a new batter coming in and the ball reversing nicely, Rabada said. I was feeling my best rhythm. Sometimes you get a wicket exactly how you want it and this was one of those times.At four down overnight, there was some talk of an early finish but Rabada entered the day aware that it might get long. Two things could have happened: either we would have cleaned them up before lunch and wed have been done or this would have happened where we had to wait until tea time. If it does happen, great. If it doesnt you have to keep on persisting and hitting your strraps and thats what we did.dddddddddddd. South Africas determination stemmed from a desire to translate their success in the home ODIs against the same opposition into the longer format. It was important coming here after what weve done in the one-dayers to back it up with Tests, du Plessis said. You like to start well and open up those wounds again.Rabada is being spoken about as the new spearhead, especially with Dale Steyn out for at least the next six months, but it is not a label he wants. I dont see myself being the leader of the attack. Every player has a job to do, Rabada said. You have a responsibility to make sure you produce the goods for your country. Youve got a job to do, its a passion and you do it for your team-mates and the people back home. No one wants to lose, right? So you have to try to do everything you can to win.Sharing the burden is a theme South Africa want to build on, not just in the bowling department. With AB de Villiers out of the series, the rest have had to rally. In this Test, JP Duminys return to form, batting at No.4, was particularly pleasing for South Africa especially as there was pressure on him to keep his place.The extra responsibility on JP is something he has really enjoyed. He looked really confident, du Plessis said. He was practising well. His body language was positive. Its not a guarantee but its a sign and I felt JPs cricket was about to turn in a positive way. He has played really well. Thats one of his best knocks he has ever played. He moved brilliantly. Even throwing the ball to him now, I know he is so confident. Its great for his future in the game.With so much going their way, South Africa will celebrate in Perth tonight but not like they would have celebrated before. In 2012, the series was done. Now, the series has just started and they know they have a long way to go. Its important to celebrate games like this. Every time you win a Test you must celebrate, du Plessis said. But we also know weve got one step in the right direction but we are very far from winning the series. ' ' '
