PHILADELPHIA – The Philadelphia Flyers found a way to win, again, as they rallied to defeat the Edmonton Oilers, 6-5, on Thursday.

“[Voracek] has been hard on me to use that play for three years now,” Raffl said. “First time it worked. … I just put a little fake in there and got around [Klefbom] and chipped it up high.”

Connor McDavid had a goal and two points on the night and was itching for an altercation with the Flyers all night.

“We stuck with it,” Voracek said. “We came back from 2-0 [in the second period], we got down two goals in the third again. Power play wasn’t very good, but it came up big when it needed to. The fourth goal was big to get us back in the game. We stuck with it and won the game.”

Claude Giroux scored twice for the Flyers and Mark Streit and Pierre-Edouard Bellemare added markers in the win.

“We had a number of leads in the game,” Oilers coach Todd McLellan said. “One of things we didn’t want to do was put them on the power play, and we put them on the power play continually. Whether they score or not … I thought our penalty-killers did a tremendous job, [but the Flyers] gain a lot of momentum and energy and belief off of that.
