Claude Giroux scored twice and added two assists, and Jakub Voracek chipped in with four helpers as the Philadelphia Flyers erased an early deficit to thump the Toronto Maple Leafs 7-4.
Voracek's four points give him 42 on the season, three more than Dallas Stars' forward Tyler Seguin. It was Voracek's second career four-point game. His first was on Feb. 18, 2013.
R.J. Umberger, Sean Couturier, Nicklas Grossman, Scott Laughton and Michael Raffl also scored for the Flyers (12-14-6) while Ray Emery made 21 saves.
Joffrey Lupul, James van Riemsdyk, David Clarkson and Peter Holland found the back of the net for Toronto (19-11-3), which has now lost back-to-back contests after having their six-game win streak snapped Thursday night in Carolina.
Jonathan Bernier stopped 34 shots in the loss while James Riemer made one save on one shot in 10:28 of relief.
The Leafs dropped to 5-8-1 against teams below .500. Toronto also saw its perfect 14-0-0 record when scoring first this season come to an end.
Raffl's goal midway through the third gave Philadelphia a 7-3 lead to end Bernier's night early.
Giroux and Grossman gave Philadelphia a 5-3 lead after two periods.
The two teams combined for six goals on the game's first 16 shots in a 6:53 span of the opening period.
Lupul and van Riemsdyk gave Toronto an early 2-0 advantage, scoring on the Leafs' first four shots of the game.
After Umberger got the Flyers on the board with his third of the season, Philadelphia and Toronto scored three goals in 26 seconds setting a new Leafs record for the fastest three goals scored by both teams.
Couturier tied it 2-2 with his eighth of the season, Clarkson briefly gave Toronto a 3-2 lead at 11:33 of the first, and Giroux tied the game again 11 seconds later.
Saturday was the first of three meetings between the two clubs. They meet again in Philadelphia Jan. 31.
Notes: Flyers' goaltender Steve Mason (tweaked back) missed his first game with the injury. Rob Zepp, who was recalled Friday, backed up Emery Saturday. Leafs defenceman Jake Gardiner was a healthy scratch for the third time this season and was replaced by Korbinian Holzer in the lineup. Toronto forward Leo Komarov (concussion) missed his 10th game. Lupul was playing in his 200th game as a member of the Leafs.
