Scott Laughton Scores Four in Flyers Win

Scott Laughton of the Philadelphia Flyers made history by scoring all four goals in a 4-1 victory over the Detroit Red Wings, marking his first four-goal game and tying the franchise record for most goals in a game, previously set by John LeClair in 2002. Laughton's performance, which included two empty-net goals, brought him to a total of 102 career goals in the NHL. This win is significant for the Flyers as it marks consecutive victories in regulation for the first time since late October, positioning them in contention for a playoff spot with a record of 14-12-4. Laughton, who has garnered trade interest from other teams, emphasized the challenge of scoring in the league, making his achievement feel especially rewarding. His captain praised him for his team-first mentality and versatility on the ice. The Flyers are looking to build on this momentum as they aim for a playoff berth in the 2024-25 season.
