NHL Roundup: Flyers Rally Past Panthers; Avalanche Win 10th Straight

The Philadelphia Flyers erased a two-goal deficit in the final minute of regulation to defeat the Florida Panthers 4-2 on Wednesday night at Amerant Bank Arena in Sunrise, Florida, handing the defending Stanley Cup champions their second straight home loss. Tyson Foerster scored the go-ahead goal with 45.2 seconds remaining, capitalizing on a rebound after his initial shot struck Panthers defenseman Aaron Ekblad, who was left writhing in pain on the ice. Sean Couturier added an insurance goal 21 seconds later on a tip-in, securing Philadelphia's league-leading 10th comeback victory of the season.

The Flyers, who trailed 2-0 early, tied the game in the second period on goals from Emil Andrae, his second career tally, and Matvei Michkov, who redirected Andrae's shot past Sergei Bobrovsky. Brad Marchand and Carter Verhaeghe had given Florida the lead in the first period, both assisted by Sam Bennett. Goaltender Dan Vladar made 25 saves for Philadelphia, while Bobrovsky allowed four goals on 17 shots. Panthers coach Paul Maurice noted his team's sluggish play after the early dominance, saying they were "late getting to some loose pucks" as the Flyers maintained control.
