Matvei Michkov scored 4:05 into overtime to lift the Philadelphia Flyers past the Ottawa Senators 5-4 on Thursday night.
Philadelphia’s Travis Sanheim opened the scoring in the first, with his fourth goal of the season, but Senators captain Brady Tkachuk soon tied the game with his team-leading ninth goal of the season.
Ottawa outchanced Philadelphia through most of the game and won the shot battle 28-7 through forty minutes. Despite facing plenty of offensive pressure from the Senators, Philadelphia kept the game within reach and the teams were tied 2-2 after two periods.
