Leo Carlsson had a goal and an assist for the Ducks (5-6-0), who lost all five in regulation during the skid. Lukas Dostal made 28 saves.
“Way better team game this game,” Carlsson said. “Obviously, to go down 2-0, they get the 5-on-3 (power play), it was a little tough. But (we) came back in the game. Pretty good.”
Matvei Michkov scored twice, and Porter Martone had a goal and an assist for the Flyers (3-7-3), who had won three straight games after losing their first nine (0-6-3) this season. Joseph Woll made 21 saves.
“There’s lots to like about our game, but the ability to win this game, it stings because I thought this was a game we should have won, I think,” Philadelphia coach Rick Tocchet said. “But we let them off the hook with whatever the factors.”
Michkov gave the Flyers a 1-0 lead during a 5-on-3 power play at 13:59 of the first period with a shot through traffic from atop the face-off circles.
Martone’s power-play goal made at 15:02 made it 2-0, a tap-in of Travis Sanheim‘s seam pass at the right post.
Carlsson cut it to 2-1 at 8:38 of the second period with a one-timer from the slot off a pass from behind the net by Cutter Gauthier.
“That first period, that 5-on-3 right off the bat put us in a tough spot, and I thought we still continued on the battle, and got ourselves so once we got the one goal, I thought our game changed completely,” Anaheim coach Joel Quenneville said.
