Tim Stutzle scored two goals to lift the Ottawa Senators past the host Philadelphia Flyers 5-3 on Sunday.

Zack MacEwen, Claude Giroux and Vladimir Tarasenko each added one goal as Ottawa halted a five-game road losing streak.

Senators goaltender Mads Sogaard made 22 saves.

Egor Zamula had two goals and one assist while Joel Farabee added one goal and two assists for the Flyers.

Philadelphia has dropped two in a row following a five-game winning streak.

Flyers goaltender Samuel Ersson stopped 29 shots.

The Senators equalized at 3 when Giroux, a former Flyers standout, scored at 3:19 of the third period.

From there, both teams played at an up-tempo pace with multiple strong scoring chances.

After Cam Atkinson was denied from point-blank range, Ottawa countered and took a 4-3 lead at 15:07 when Tarasenko scored off a 2-on-1 break.

Stutzle scored into an empty net at 18:37 for a two-goal lead.

The Flyers went ahead 1-0 on the power play at 11:57 of the first period on a bizarre goal. Players on both teams appeared to stop because a whistle had blown. They believed the puck was beneath a scrum near the net, but it had bounced into the far corner. Zamula corralled the puck and took a shot from the point into a near-empty net.

Zamula scored again at 16:40 on a nasty wrist shot for a 2-0 advantage. The puck appeared to deflect off Ottawa’s Artem Zub.

The Senators were unsuccessful on two power plays in the opening 20 minutes.

Giroux fired a shot at 3:33 of the second period, but Ersson was able to make a pad save.

The Senators kept attacking and MacEwen, another ex-Flyer, connected at 4:04 to close within 2-1.

Philadelphia struck back with a power-play goal by Farabee at 10:50. Farabee received a pass from Zamula and ripped a shot off the far post and into the net.

Ottawa cut the deficit to 3-2 at 11:45 as Stutzle scored on a delayed penalty. The puck crossed the goal line shortly before the whistle sounded.
