    Jakub Voracek never saw the hit coming. His head down along the boards, Detroit defenseman Niklas Kronwall stepped in and blasted Voracek with an elbow-to-face shot that knocked the Flyers forward to the ice.

    Dazed, Voracek reached all fours and staggered to the locker room.

    Flyers and Red Wings briefly exchanged some words, but no punches were thrown. Instead, the Flyers rallied around their fallen teammate and stretched their winning streak to three games.

    Voracek scored before he was hurt, and Claude Giroux and Max Talbot also had goals to lead the Philadelphia Flyers to a 3-2 win over the Detroit Red Wings on Tuesday night.
