Flyers 4, Devils 1
PHILADELPHIA
Jeff Carter scored two goals and Danny Briere had one to end their playoff scoring droughts and lead Philadelphia to a commanding 3-1 lead in their playoff series. Unlikely postseason star Daniel Carcillo scored his second goal in two games for the Flyers. Game 5 is Thursday in New Jersey. The Devils haven’t won three straight games since they won five straight from Dec. 12 to 21. The Flyers have won 17 of 19 playoff series when they hold a 3-1 lead.
Red Wings 3, Coyotes 0
DETROIT
Jimmy Howard had a 29-save shutout and Henrik Zetterberg scored two goals to lead Detroit to the series-evening Game 4 victory. Howard’s saves included one without his helmet. Phoenix will be at home Friday night, but has to return to Detroit for Game 6 on Sunday. Zetterberg’s first goal stood after a video review, which didn’t help the Red Wings get a call changed in their favor earlier.
