Connor McDavid scored two goals and added an assist in the third period, as the Oilers defeated the Flyers, 4-2, to close a four-game road trip.

After snapping a four-game losing streak on Monday in Calgary, the Flyers close a four-game road trip against the Edmonton Oilers on Tuesday.

Connor McDavid and the Edmonton Oilers make their lone appearance in Philadelphia against the Flyers on Thursday night at Wells Fargo Center.

For the third straight game, the Flyers faced the “win a period, win a game” scenario, once again going up against some stiff competition to start the season. After falling short last Saturday against the still-undefeated Florida Panthers, the Flyers passed the test this time.

Cam Atkinson capped off his second two-goal game of the season with the eventual game-winning goal at 4:18 of the third period in the Flyers 5-3 win over the Edmonton Oilers.
