Travis Konecny had a goal and an assist for the Philadelphia Flyers in a 4-1 win against the host Montreal Canadiens on Tuesday.
Carl Grundstrom, Trevor Zegras and Bobby Brink scored for the Flyers, who snapped a three-game skid (0-0-3). Dan Vladar made 21 saves.
Alexandre Texier scored and Jacob Fowler made 17 saves for the Canadiens, who have lost four of six (2-3-1).
Zegras, playing in his 300th NHL game, finished off a give-and-go with Konecny on a two-on-one rush with a snap shot that beat Fowler under his right pad to make it 2-1 Philadelphia at 6:26 of the second period.
It was his 33rd point of the season in his 32nd game, eclipsing his total from last season in 57 contests.
Brink benefited from a misplay by Fowler to push it to 3-1 with 50 seconds left in the period. Fowler left the puck for a teammate behind his net, but Matvei Michkov was first to it and quickly fed it to Brink in the slot, who put it into the open net.
Konecny capped off the scoring with an empty-net goal at 18:25 of the third period.
The two sides combined for five shots on goal in the first two minutes of the first period, with Montreal holding a 3-2 edge. The Flyers then started to take control of the play, building up an 8-3 advantage with just over four minutes left in the frame.
The Canadiens didn't get their fourth shot of the period until just over three and a half minutes remained in the period.
They capitalized on their fifth, with Texier giving Montreal a 1-0 lead at 19:00. Jake Evans sent a centering pass to Texier, who beat Vladar inside the left post with a snap shot from the slot.
The Flyers tied it 39 seconds later. Sean Couturier pushed a short pass up for Owen Tippett along the right side, and Tippett took it down below the circle and sent a feed across the crease to Grundstrom on the back door.
