Philadelphia’s Owen Tippett capped a four-point night (1-3-4) by scoring on a breakaway at 3:30 of overtime, drawing Blue Jackets goaltender Elvis Merzlikins forward by faking a shot, only to draw back the puck and score off his backhand.

That was the lone goal of the middle frame, which finished with the Blue Jackets outshooting the Flyers 7-6 despite most of the play happening inside the Columbus zone.
