Flyers 5, Penguins 3: Pittsburgh native R.J. Umberger scored the go-ahead goal at 6:50 of the third period and set up Matt Read's tally two minutes later as visiting Philadelphia upended its Keystone State rival.

Sean Couturier recorded an empty-net goal and two assists, defenseman Mark Streit also tallied and Pierre-Edouard Bellemare netted his first career goal for the Flyers, who have emerged victorious in two of their last three after going winless in their first four games (0-2-2). Captain Claude Giroux and Jakub Voracek each notched a pair of assists and Ray Emery finished with 22 saves.

Marcel Goc scored after a give-and-go with former Nashville teammate Nick Spaling to trim Philadelphia's lead to 4-3 with 2:57 remaining in the third period. Spaling and Pascal Dupuis also tallied, but Couturier's empty-netter with 27 seconds left ended the threat as the Penguins fell to 3-11-1 in their last 15 at home versus the Flyers - including playoffs.

Dupuis redirected a shot from the point by defenseman Paul Martin to forge a 2-2 tie exactly nine minutes into the second period. The contest remained knotted until Umberger settled Giroux's centering pass and banked a shot off the right arm of Marc-Andre Fleury (28 saves) and into the net before Read backhanded the puck under the crossbar soon after.

After failing to score despite sustained pressure on a power play, Pittsburgh drew first blood as Spaling wired a shot from the left faceoff circle inside the near post at 3:50 of the first period. Philadelphia scored on back-to-back shots to claim the advantage, as Streit's attempt deflected off Evgeni Malkin's stick and past Fleury at 9:20 and Bellemare extended his stick to deflect Couturier's centering feed into the net four minutes later.
