Jack Eichel scored the lone goal in a shootout on Monday as the Vegas Golden Knights rallied for a 5-4 victory over the host Philadelphia Flyers.

Eichel and Ivan Barbashev each had a goal and an assist in regulation for Vegas, which recovered from an early 3-0 deficit to improve to 3-1-0 on its five-game road trip. Pavel Dorofeyev and Tanner Pearson also scored, while Knights goaltender Ilya Samsonov made 32 saves before making two stops in the shootout.

Philadelphia concluded its homestand with a 2-2-1 record despite getting a goal and an assist from Morgan Frost and the first NHL goal from rookie defenseman Emil Andrae. Sean Couturier and Matvei Michkov also scored for the Flyers, while Ivan Fedotov made 26 saves.

Eichel recorded the decisive tally when he snapped a wrister past Fedotov. Samsonov denied Owen Tippett on the other end to seal the win.

Philadelphia led 4-3 until Pearson netted the equalizer with 8:05 remaining in the third period. Pearson stole the puck on the forecheck early in the sequence before eventually unleashing a one-timer from the slot off a feed from Noah Hanifin.

The Flyers had a power play in overtime, but they couldn't cash in. Samsonov made a big stop on Travis Sanheim, and then Sanheim hit the post later in the man advantage.

The Flyers led 2-0 after one period following goals from Frost and Couturier. Frost tipped home a shot from Rasmus Ristolainen to open the scoring before Couturier got a step on the defense and beat Samsonov inside the right post.

Andrae's goal on a rebound pushed the lead to 3-0 early in the second period, but the action in the middle stanza was only getting started.

Eichel scored his eighth goal of the season to get Vegas on the board and then found Barbashev with a nice feed to make it 3-2 about four minutes later.

Michkov scored with 6:42 left in the period to restore a two-goal cushion, but that left plenty of time for the Knights to dent the scoreboard once more. Dorofeyev blasted a one-timer past Fedotov for a power-play goal with 1:50 left in the session.
