Scott Laughton had a standout performance for the Philadelphia Flyers, scoring a career-high four goals in their 4-1 victory over the Detroit Red Wings. This marks Laughton's second career hat trick and the first time a Flyers player has netted four goals in a game since John LeClair in 2002.
After struggling with just one goal in his previous 25 games, Laughton opened the scoring with a breakaway goal and added a short-handed goal along with two empty-netters. Aleksei Kolosov contributed with 25 saves, securing his fourth win of the season.
Despite a late goal from Ben Chiarot, the Red Wings have now lost six of their last seven games. Key defensive plays from the Flyers, including a critical block by Travis Sanheim, helped secure the win.
