PHILADELPHIA -- The Detroit Red Wings ended a couple lengthy skids Tuesday night.One was nearly 20 years old. Thats not the one that mattered to coach Jeff Blashill, though.Andreas Athanasiou tied it midway through the third period and had the only score in the shootout, helping the Red Wings snap a five-game losing streak with a 3-2 victory over the Philadelphia Flyers.Tomas Tatar also scored for Detroit, which ended a 12-game regular season losing streak in Philadelphia dating to Jan. 25, 1997. The Red Wings did win the first two games of the 1997 Stanley Cup Final in Philadelphia on their way to a four-game sweep.Id focus more on this year, Blashill said. The other one has not a whole lot to do with this team.The Red Wings had lost three contests during their skid by one goal.I thought we played well at times in those five games, but we werent getting results, Blashill said. You play good, you have to find a way to get results. And we found a way tonight.Sean Couturier and Claude Giroux scored and Jakub Voracek had a pair of assists for the Flyers.In the shootout, all three Philadelphia skaters -- Travis Konecny, Giroux and Voracek -- missed.Its a valuable point (lost), Flyers coach Dave Hakstol said.After Gustav Nyquist and Frans Nielsen misfired for Detroit, Athanasiou beat Steve Mason on the backhand. Athanasiou pumped his fist along the side boards as his teammates came out to congratulate him.Its definitely a good feeling to end the losing slump and get back on the right track, Athanasiou said. You can see the spirits are already high.Couturier made it 2-1 off a setup by Voracek 6:51 into the third period. After his wraparound attempt was denied by Jimmy Howard, Voracek sent the puck back in front of the net and Couturier poked it home for his fourth goal of the season but first in 11 games.Athanasiou tied it with 8:47 left when he raced past Flyers defensemen Brandon Manning and Radko Gudas before deking around Mason with a forehand shot.I saw a little space, Athanasiou said. Fortunately enough, I got through.Said Hakstol: The pace and speed he attacks with is hard to handle.Mason, making his first start since Oct. 29, made 33 saves.I thought (Mason) was excellent, Hakstol said.Howard made consecutive starts for the first time this season after making 26 stops in Detroits 2-1 home loss to the Edmonton Oilers on Sunday. He stopped 23 shots.The Flyers recorded a 4-3 overtime win over Detroit last Tuesday in Philadelphia.Giroux gave the Flyers a 1-0 lead with a power-play goal 6 1/2 minutes in. Voracek sent a cross-ice pass to Giroux and the Flyers captain went to his knees as he one-timed it high over Howards left shoulder.The Red Wings answered just over two minutes later when Tatar netted his second goal of the season after a Flyers miscue. Philadelphias Brandon Manning attempted to clear the puck from next to his own goal but it was blocked by Henrik Zetterberg, who set up Tatar from behind the net for the point-blank shot.Game notes Red Wings D Tyler Bertuzzi made his NHL debut in place of Thomas Vanek, who missed his seventh game with a lower body injury.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- After making a diving catch in the back of the end zone, Jordy Nelson celebrated with teammates and then took a knee.It was a private moment that seemed to signal the end of a long road back from a knee injury.Nelson played his first meaningful game in 20 months Sunday, finishing with six catches for 32 yards and a touchdown in a victory at Jacksonville . Nelson didnt show his usual big-play ability, but he found the end zone and probably gained some confidence in his surgically repaired right knee.It feels great having Jordy back, quarterback Aaron Rodgers said. He does so many things well out there. He had a great second and third reaction on the TD catch .Nelson, who tore the anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee in the 2015 preseason, left the visiting locker room before media were allowed in, so his reaction to his first real game since the 2014 NFC championship will have to wait. It also was his first TD catch in 630 days, since Dec. 21, 2014, at Tampa Bay.It was great, fellow receiver Davante Adams said. He came back just like he always does. He made several key catches for us to get us yards and first downs when we needed it. He brings a lot to this offense. Werre all glad to have him back out there with us.ddddddddddddNelson had half his catches in a four-play stretch late in the first half. The final one was the biggest of the day, though. He ran by linebacker Paul Posluszny, settled into an open spot in Jacksonvilles zone and then threw both arms up to let Rodgers know he was open.Rodgers, meanwhile, was dancing in the pocket. He took a step forward, started to move left, backpedaled and then sprinted to his right. Somewhere in there, Rodgers spotted Nelson and zipped the ball just past Prince Amukamaras outstretched hands for a touchdown and a 14-10 lead.I know they look to him, Jaguars coach Gus Bradley said. We kind of had an idea that they are a really good combination. Theres a lot of trust that goes on between those two. They know each other real well, where theyre going to be on certain routes and Aaron trusts him. Whenever you have that type of a combination, thats what all teams are trying to build and they are both elite players.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and AP NFL Twitter feed: http://twitter.com/AP-NFL ' ' '
