Flyers Overcome Two-Goal Deficit to Beat Blackhawks in Overtime

Matvei Michkov's power-play goal secures Philadelphia's comeback victory after a strong third-period rally.

The Philadelphia Flyers rallied from a 2-0 third-period deficit to defeat the Chicago Blackhawks 3-2 in overtime, with rookie Matvei Michkov scoring the game-winning power-play goal.
Sean Couturier and Noah Cates each scored in the third period to tie the game, with Cates notching his first goal of the season and Couturier ending a 14-game scoring drought.
Flyers goalie Aleksei Kolosov earned his first NHL win, making 19 saves on 21 shots, while Chicago's Petr Mrázek delivered a standout performance with 34 saves, including several high-danger stops.
Chicago's fourth line, featuring Lukas Reichel, Pat Maroon, and Craig Smith, accounted for both Blackhawks goals and consistently pressured the Flyers' defense throughout the game.
A holding penalty by Alex Vlasic in overtime, following a turnover by Connor Bedard, set up the Flyers' decisive power play, with Michkov finishing a Travis Konecny pass at 1:06 of overtime.
