PHILADELPHIA — Scott Laughton scored a career-high four goals to break out of a drought and help the Philadelphia Flyers beat the Detroit Red Wings 4-1 on Thursday night. After scoring just once in his previous 25 games, Laughton had his second career hat trick and became the first Flyers player to score four goals since John LeClair in 2002. Laughton opened the scoring in the second period with a breakaway goal on a slap shot from the left circle. He added a short-handed goal in the third, tipping a pass from Travis Konecny, and had two empty-net goals. Aleksei Kolosov made 25 saves for Philadelphia, allowing only Ben Chiarot's late goal. The Red Wings have lost six of seven games.
