In a thrilling match on Saturday, the Philadelphia Flyers secured their fourth consecutive victory by defeating the defending Stanley Cup champions, the Vegas Golden Knights, 4-3. Sean Couturier played the hero by scoring the game-winning goal in overtime, capitalizing on a turnover by Jack Eichel.

The Flyers, known for struggling on the power play this season, showcased improvement by scoring on their first two opportunities. Owen Tippett and Tyson Foerster also contributed to the victory with goals in the first and second periods, respectively.

Jonathan Marchessault, the reigning playoff MVP, made a strong effort for the Golden Knights with two goals in the second period, but it wasn’t enough to overcome the Flyers. Carter Hart made 28 saves to secure the win for Philadelphia.

The Flyers, currently surprising with a 9-7-1 record, are poised to strengthen their lineup with the potential return of veteran defensemen Marc Staal and Rasmus Ristolainen, both recovering from injuries.

Looking ahead, the Vegas Golden Knights continue their road trip against Pittsburgh, while the Flyers will host Columbus in their next game on Sunday.
