Michkov scores in OT to give Flyers victory against Blues | Fulton Sun

ST. LOUIS -- Matvei Michkov scored 26 seconds into overtime Saturday night and the Philadelphia Flyers beat the St. Louis Blues 3-2.

Owen Tippett and Tyson Foerster also scored for Philadelphia, and Aleksei Kolosov had 25 saves.

Dylan Holloway and Jake Neighbours scored for St. Louis.

Neighbours tied the score with 19 seconds left in regulation, putting in a loose puck from just outside the crease.

Blues goalie Jordan Binnington finished with 28 saves.

Binnington recorded two eye-popping saves late in the second period with the Blues trailing 1-0. Binnington was sprawled in the crease blocking a backhand shot by Tracy Konecny with 1:02 remaining. Sean Couturier nabbed the loose puck, but a prone Binnington made an acrobatic glove save on the goal line seconds later to prevent a sure goal.

Tippett tapped in the puck from the right side after a pass from Michkov at 9:15 of the first period.

Holloway tied it at 1 with 8:49 remaining in the third, and Foerster scored on a rebound to put the Flyers back ahead 51 seconds later.

Flyers veteran Sean Couturier ended a four-game point streak in which he scored three goals along with a pair of assists.

Blues defenseman Philip Broberg was back on the ice on day after coming off injured reserve after recovering from a lower body injury and missing 12 games. He was hurt in a game Nov 2 against Toronto.

The Flyers are 4-0-1 in their last five games, with three of them going into overtime. Since their victory on Halloween night against the Blues on Halloween night, Philadelphia has gone 8-3-2.

On Tuesday, the Blues visit Winnipeg to begin a four-game trip and the Flyers host Florida.
