The Philadelphia Flyers secured a 3-2 overtime victory against the St. Louis Blues at Enterprise Center on Saturday night, thanks to rookie winger Matvei Michkov's decisive goal. The Flyers had initially led the game twice but were unable to maintain their advantage in regulation time. Michkov's winning goal marked his third overtime success of the season and his ninth overall.
The winning play began with Travis Konecny making a diving effort in the defensive zone, allowing Michkov to collect the puck and score at 28 seconds into sudden death.
This win concludes November for the Flyers with an 8-4-2 record, following a less successful October. They also completed a season sweep against the Blues, finishing 2-0-0.
The first period saw limited action until Morgan Frost set up Owen Tippett for a tap-in goal at 9:15. Aleksei Kolosov, who was relatively untroubled early on, made crucial saves later in the period.
Despite increased activity in the second period, neither team scored. The Flyers maintained a shot advantage through two periods.
In the third period, Dylan Holloway equalized for St. Louis at 11:11 before Tyson Foerster restored Philadelphia's lead shortly after. However, Jake Neighbours tied it again for St. Louis with just seconds remaining in regulation.
Kolosov ended with 26 saves from 28 shots, while Jordan Binnington saved 28 of 31 attempts in defeat.
