Derick Brassard scored to tie the game, 3-3, in the final frame, and Cam Atkinson put the Flyers up 4-3 for the win.

“It’s the playmaking game of Farabee and the finish of Atkinson,” Brassard said. “Tonight, we came out big for the team. We scored some key goals at some key moments in the game and those two guys were buzzing around.”

Martin Jones made 26 saves in the Philadelphia win.

“I think we had our legs tonight, which always helps,” Atkinson said. “I don’t think our first period was anything special, but once we started making those plays and feeling good about ourselves and wanting the puck and wanting to make a difference, that’s when things opened up for us.”

The Flyers improved to 17-28-10.

Dylan Strome hit for a double in the Blackhawks loss.

“I thought we played a pretty good game,” Chicago’s Seth Jones said. “We had a lead on the road at a tough building to play in. Up 3-2, we were feeling pretty good about our game. The last two goals that we gave up were unforced errors on our part.”

Chicago dropped to 20-28-8.

“Obviously it’s a tough way to lose,” Strome said. “Have a lead going into the third, got to play better than we did.”

Atkinson had two goals in the game, and Oskar Lindblom added a single marker in the win.

Alex DeBrincat also scored for the Hawks.

Kevin Lankinen made 23 saves in the Chicago loss.
