After Morgan Frost tied the game with 11.4 seconds left in regulation, Sean Couturier scored in overtime as the visiting Philadelphia Flyers stunned the Nashville Predators 3-2 on Wednesday night.
Couturier tipped in a pass from Travis Konecny on the rush past Juuse Saros.
On the tying goal, Frost redirected a Couturier shot that also tipped off Travis Sanheim’s stick.
Each team hit a post in the opening minute of overtime.
Scott Laughton also scored for the Flyers, who have won two of their last three (2-0-1). Aleksei Kolosov made 25 saves.
Roman Josi and Ryan O’Reilly scored for the Predators, who have lost three of four (1-2-1). Saros made 20 saves.
It was Philadelphia’s ninth overtime of the season. They improved to 6-3.
Both teams went 0-for-1 on the power play. The Flyers blocked 32 shots, 21 more than the Predators.
Josi gave the Predators a 1-0 lead at 6:17 of the first. Catching the Flyers on a change, Josi entered the zone, skated around the net and his centering attempt deflected in off Sanheim.
Josi has 11 points (four goals, seven assists) in his past 10 games.
Laughton snapped an 18-game goal drought and tied the score at 1 at 12:46 when he scored on a wrist shot from a tough angle in the bottom of the left circle.
O’Reilly gave the Predators a 2-1 lead at 16:18 of the first when he scored on a one-timer from the left faceoff dot on a Gustav Nyquist feed.
After getting one shot on goal in the first half of the third, the Flyers applied late pressure. Saros made a pad save on Sanheim with about three minutes remaining.
Philadelphia pulled Kolosov with about 2:50 remaining and caught a break when Nashville was called for too many men on the ice with 2:23 left, but the Flyers did not convert during the power play.
