Darryl Boyce scored with 4 1/2 minutes to play to carry the surging Toronto Maple Leafs to a 3-2 victory over the host Philadelphia Flyers on Thursday night.
Nikolai Kulemin and Dion Phaneuf had a goal and an assist apiece to help the Maple Leafs improve to 10-2-4 since the All-Star break
James Reimer made 28 saves as Toronto rallied for its second straight come-from-behind win despite failing to convert on seven power-play chances.
Kris Versteeg scored a pair of goals against his ex-teammates and rookie Sergei Bobrovsky made 30 saves as the Flyers saw their lead in the Eastern Conference cut to three points over Boston.
Versteeg's first goal gave the Flyers a short-lived 1-0 lead before Kulemin answered for Toronto just 21 seconds later.
The Flyers were 11 seconds from heading into the locker room with a 2-1 lead before Phaneuf struck just before the end of the second period.
