Trevor Zegras scored in the first round of the shootout to lift the visiting Philadelphia Flyers to a 5-4 victory over the Montreal Canadiens on Tuesday.
Zegras, who notched two assists in regulation, took his time before wiring his shootout attempt between the pads of Sam Montembeault.
Dan Vladar stopped Cole Caufield in the second round of the shootout and captain Nick Suzuki's backhand bid sailed wide of the net in the third, giving the Flyers their first road win (1-2-1).
The loss was the Canadiens' first in six games this season that ventured past regulation.
Philadelphia's Bobby Brink scored two goals and defenseman Cam York collected a goal and an assist.
Nikita Grebenkin scored his first career NHL goal midway into the third period and Vladar made 16 saves for the Flyers, who scored three goals in the opening eight minutes of a game for the first time since Nov. 2, 2011.
Montreal's Kirby Dach scored two goals, Suzuki added a goal to extend his career-high point streak to 12 games and Ivan Demidov also tallied.
Defenseman Lane Hutson had two assists and Caufield added one while playing in his 300th career game.
Montembeault yielded three goals on the first five shots he faced before finishing with 38 saves.
Grebenkin leveled the contest at 4-4 with 9:09 remaining in the third period by wiring a shot that beat Montembeault, who had lost his stick.
With Philadelphia leading 3-0, Dach cleaned up a friendly carom off the end boards to put Montreal on the scoreboard at 3:12 of the second period.
Suzuki's one-timer from the left circle trimmed the Flyers' lead just 63 seconds later and Dach converted from the doorstep to forge a 3-3 tie with 6:32 left in the second.
With his team on the power play, Demidov wired a sharp wrist shot from the right circle that handcuffed Vladar to give Montreal a 4-3 lead with 4:03 remaining in the second.
Brink redirected defenseman Travis Sanheim's shot from the point to open the scoring before York converted Zegras' nifty backhanded feed on a 5-on-3 advantage.
Zegras' sharp shot from the right circle produced a rebound that Brink converted from in close at 7:50 of the first period.
