Matvei Michkov scored a power-play goal in overtime as the Flyers overcame a two-goal third-period deficit to beat the Chicago Blackhawks 3-2 on Saturday.
Michkov scored on a set play, taking a backdoor pass from Travis Konecny and knocking the ball home at 1:06 of overtime.
Trailing 2-0 in the third period, Sean Couturier and Noah Cates scored goals 2:38 into the game to tie the score.
Couturier scored for the first time in 14 games and Cates scored for the first time this season.
Aleksei Kolosov made 19 saves and earned his first NHL victory.
Lukas Reichel and Patrick Maroon scored for the Blackhawks, who lost for the fourth time in five games.
Petr Mrázek made 34 saves for Chicago.
Blackhawks: It’s not often you get production from your fourth line, but Chicago’s unit of Reichel, Craig Smith and Maroon stood out every time they took the ice. They accounted for both of Chicago’s goals, combining for eight of the team’s 21 shots on goal.
Flyers: The Flyers have struggled to score this season, but one thing is that they have been a productive team when they fall behind late in games.
Alex Vlasic took a critical holding penalty, allowing the Flyers to take the power plays in overtime. The penalty was the result of a turnover on Chicago star Connor Bedard’s Flyers side.
Scott Laughton, who was benched for part of the Flyers’ last game against Carolina, was all over the stat sheet without actually scoring. He led the Flyers in shots on goal with eight and tied for the team lead in hits with four.
The Blackhawks are off until Wednesday when they return home to host Dallas.
Philadelphia wraps up a five-game homestand against Vegas on Monday.
