Maple Leafs Beat Flyers 5-2 as Cowan Scores First NHL Goal, Tanev Stretchered Off

Chris Tanev was later released from a Philadelphia hospital and returned to Toronto with further evaluation pending.

Overview

  • Toronto earned its first road win of the season, overcoming an early deficit to finish 5-2 in Philadelphia.
  • Rookie Easton Cowan made it 4-1 just 33 seconds into the third period off a John Tavares setup for his first NHL goal.
  • Chris Tanev left on a stretcher after a third‑period collision with Matvei Michkov; an initial major on Michkov was reduced to a minor for interference.
  • Head coach Craig Berube said Tanev was moving and undergoing tests, and subsequent reports said he was released from hospital and flew back to Toronto.
  • Flyers starter Dan Vladar was pulled after allowing multiple goals, and the Maple Leafs return home to host the Penguins on Monday with Tanev’s timeline unclear.
