A night that started with the celebration of the retirement of Eric Lindros’ No. 88 jersey ended with the Flyers celebrating two huge points in the standings.
Sean Couturier notched the game-winner in overtime and Michal Neuvirth stopped 29 of 31 shots as the Flyers overcame a 2-0 deficit to defeat the Maple Leafs by a 3-2 final on Thursday night at the Wells Fargo Center.
Two second-period goals seemed to give the visitors a stranglehold on the game, but Nolan Patrick sparked the Flyers with his third goal of the season early in the third and Wayne Simmonds tied things up with a shorthanded goal to even things up before the end of regulation.
