Kempe scored two goals and Kopitar returned from injury with Los Angeles.
Zegras made it 2-1 just 39 seconds into the second period on the power play with a shot from the right circle off a Bobby Brink cross.It was his 20th goal of the season and his first for the Flyers.
"Between the first and second games, we regrouped and had a strong second game," Philadelphia guard Nick Seeler said."I thought we came out strong as a five-man group and started putting more pucks in the net. Like I said, I thought our front-checking really gave us a push in the second period."
Konecny tied the game 2-2 25 seconds into the third period by deflecting a shot from Rasmus Ristolainen.He takes sips between three consecutive games and accumulates seven points (five sips, two assists) in that time.
"He's trying to do the right thing," I tell Rick Touchet."He will be a speedy, who will be a speedy.
Konecny scored a breakthrough at 1:30 of overtime.
"I have to put it in overtime," Konecny said."I thought we were good [in the over] tonight. They won the opening draw, they had all the possession until I broke down and I don't think I remember the worse. ... If I hit it, we didn't talk about it.
Notes: Kempe has eight points (five goals, three assists) in six straight games.Drew Doughty notched his 700th career point in 1,252 games (163 goals, 537 assists) with the second assist on Byfield's goal.He is the first defenseman in Kings history to score 700 points and the eighth player in franchise history to score 700 points (Marcel Dionne, Kopitar, Luke Robitaille, Dave Taylor, Wayne Gretzky, Bernie Nichols, Dustin Brown).... Alexei Kolosov was recalled from the American Hockey League Lehigh Valley to relieve the Kings after Samuel Elson suffered a lower-body injury in Thursday's 6-3 loss to the Boston Bruins.
