Noah Cates gave Philadelphia a 2-1 lead late in regulation, but William Nylander forced overtime by scoring on the power play with just over two minutes remaining. Michkov and Zegras then converted in the shootout to seal the win. Auston Matthews and Max Domi failed to score in the extra session, extending the star center's goal drought to eight games.
Toronto head coach Craig Berube paired Matthews and Nylander in the lineup, but the move did not yield a goal. Dakota Joshua scored the opening goal in the first period, his first since returning from injury. The Flyers continue their winning streak despite missing leading scorer Travis Konecny.
