Draisaitl, Oilers rally past Flyers in OT for 1st win of season

Brown tied it 2-2 at 14:01 of the second, scoring with a one-timer from the bottom of the left circle off a pass from Jeff Skinner.

“We’re confident in the character of our group, we’re confident in the abilities here,” Brown said. “We just needed to get the ball rolling in the right direction, so gritting one out like that is a huge step.”

Bobby Brink put the Flyers back in front 3-2 at 19:37 when his centering pass deflected in off Mattias Ekholm.

Bouchard tied it 3-3 at 16:18 of the third period, burying a one-timer from the left circle off a pass from McDavid.

“We played a pretty solid game. Sometimes, given their third goal there, you have to tip your cap. Their guys were in good position and they managed to put one past us,” Flyers forward Travis Konecny said. “I think there are things in the whole game that we can clean up, but overall, the power play looked good.”

NOTES: Philadelphia was 2-for-7 on the power play. Edmonton was 0-for-4 … McDavid extended his point streak to three games (four assists) … Flyers defenseman Travis Sanheim played in his 500th NHL game.
