A fortunate bounce allowed Philadelphia to grab a 3-2 lead midway through the third period. Gudas fired a shot from the right point. The puck deflected off of the stick of Blackhawks defenseman Christian Ehrhoff and skipped high off the ice to surprise Darling.
Chicago grabbed a 1-0 lead on a short-handed goal by Hossa with 11:42 to go in the first period. Artem Anisimov fed a pass across center ice to Hossa, who sneaked behind Philadelphia's defense for a breakaway. Hossa buried a low shot for his 11th goal of the season and the 497th of his career.
The Flyers evened the score at 1 on a power-play goal by White with 1:12 left in the first period. White stood in front of the crease and redirected a one-timer from Andrew MacDonald for his ninth goal.
Chicago regained a 2-1 lead on a wraparound goal by Toews with 15:02 remaining in the second period. Toews skated from behind the net to the right side of the crease. He lifted a sharp-angle shot underneath the crossbar to secure his seventh 25-goal campaign in nine NHL seasons.
Schenn scored during a two-on-one break with Claude Giroux to even the score at 2 with 6:58 to go in the second period. Giroux stopped, spun and zipped a pass to Schenn to set up the one-timer.
