Tim Stützle had 2 goals, including an empty-netter, and Zack MacEwen also notched for Sens. Pinto, being on the ice for the 1st time after a 41-match suspension, finished with an assist and Mads Sogaard stopped 22 shots.
“We kept playing the way we can, stayed focused,” Stützle admitted. “Great comeback victory.”
“It was short lived enjoyment because the focus just changed to making sure nothing got by me in the last 4.5 minutes.”

Egor Zamula scored 2 goals and provided an assist, and Joel Farabee had a goal and 2 assists for Philadelphia, who lost their 2nd consecutive match after triumphing in 5 consecutive before that.
Flyers played without 3rd-leading scorer Owen Tippett, who sustained his lower body injury crashing into the boards early in the 3rd period of yesterday’s 7-4 defeat against the Avalanche.
