Flyers rally past Canucks for 14th comeback win

Carl Grundstrom stretched his goal-scoring streak to four games as the Philadelphia Flyers recorded their league-leading 14th come-from-behind win to defeat the host Vancouver Canucks 6-3 on Tuesday night.

Noah Cates, Travis Konecny and Bobby Brink each had a goal and an assist for the Flyers, who are in the midst of their longest road trip of the season.

The unheralded Grundstrom anchors the Flyers' fourth line. He has divided his time between the Flyers and their Lehigh Valley farm team this season, and is one of the hottest scorers in the league of late with seven goals in his last 11 games.

The Swedish forward scored at 3:40 of the second period as his sharp angle shot to the far post beat Thatcher Demko high to the blocker side to give Philadelphia a 2-1 lead.

Owen Tippett and Christian Dvorak scored goals while Matvei Michkov and Trevor Zegras had two assists each for Philadelphia. Dan Vladar earned his 14th victory by stopping 32 of 35 shots.

Drew O'Connor and David Kampf each had a goal and an assist for the Canucks, who wrapped up 2025 with three losses in the last four games. Tom Willander also scored and Demko had a rare off night but managed 27 saves.

Not only did the Flyers erase a one goal Canucks lead but they were forced to do it out of a deep slumber. The Canucks got off to a flying start, outshooting the Flyers 10-0 in the first 10 minutes of the first period.

Kampf opened the scoring for the Canucks at 3:45 of the first, outmuscling Flyers defenseman Jamie Drysdale for position in front and swatting in a short pass from O'Connor.

Cates tied it 1-1 with just under eight minutes left in the period, snapping a shot off the right post and in.

Konecny scored on a diving shot from in close, getting his own rebound at 16:20 of the second to give the Flyers a 3-1 lead.

The teams traded goals early in the third, just 26 seconds apart, when the Canucks' O'Connor and the Flyers' Brink scored to make it 4-2.

Flyers forwards Tippett and Dvorak scored late goals while Willander rounded out the scoring for the Canucks.

At one of the early stoppages of play, former Canucks coach Rick Tocchet got a mixed reaction from the crowd during a jumbotron welcome back message.
