No one on the Detroit Red Wings' kid line is older than 23, but Riley Sheahan, Andrej Nestrasil and Tomas Jurco looked like NHL veterans on the opening goal of Saturday's contest against the Philadelphia Flyers.
Jurco gained the zone and took a hit to move the puck around Flyers defenseman Nicklas Grossman. Nestrasil then swooped in between two Flyers players to send the puck in front of the net, where Sheahan was waiting to chip it over Ray Emery.

The goal was Sheahan's first of the season. He has 10 goals in 52 career contests.
Philadelphia rallied from the first-period deficit to defeat Detroit 4-2.
