For the Flyers, it was a bounce-back effort with a better post-regulation fate after falling to the Montreal Canadiens in a shootout on Friday night.
Meanwhile, it was the same old song and dance for the Maple Leafs, who dropped their third straight game and sixth in their last seven. The loss also keeps the Maple Leafs at the bottom of the league, with just 49 points on the season.

After tying and passing Brett Hull with career goals No. 741 and 742 on Saturday, the Florida Panthers had only one real choice as to who earned the team's "Spacey in Space" sweater Saturday.
"Not many people get to say they were on the ice to witness history," said rookie Kyle Rau, who made his NHL debut Saturday. The 23-year-old wouldn't be born for another two years when Jagr entered the league in 1990.
Reilly Smith scored the other Panthers goal on the man advantage to end an 0-for-24 power-play drought. Meanwhile, goalie Roberto Luongo made 30 saves to pick up his 25th win of the season in his first start in a week. The netminder couldn't resist getting a photo of his own with the future Hall of Famer.
The win increases Florida's cushion over the rest of the Atlantic Division, which could prove important as forward Jonathan Huberdeau may miss time after leaving the game with an upper-body injury following a hit from Jets defenseman Jacob Trouba.

The Pittsburgh Penguins would prefer to keep their cards close to their chest.
With the goalie market visibly scarce, the Penguins have taken calls on American Hockey League goaltender Matt Murray, but teams have been "rebuffed" regarding his availability, Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman and Damien Cox said during the Saturday's "Headlines" segment.
Murray has put up sizzling numbers with the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins this season, constructing a 19-9-1 record to go along with a .931 save percentage and a 2.11 GAA.
After tying Brett Hull for third in NHL history with 741 goals during the second period of Saturday's game against the Winnipeg Jets, Jaromir Jagr didn't need long to pass him.
One period later, the Florida Panthers forward scored career goal No. 742 to pass Hull for sole possession of third on the all-time goals list, beating Jets goalie Michael Hutchinson for the second time on the night before unleashing a fist pump in celebration.
Only Wayne Gretzky (891) and Gordie Howe (801) now have more goals than the Czech Republic native, who's incredibly leading the Atlantic Division-topping Panthers with 20 goals this season at 44 years old.
His second goal clinched the 19th 20-goal season of Jagr's career, which moves him into a tie for third in that category behind Howe (22) and former Pittsburgh Penguins teammate Ron Francis (20). He also sits just five shy of Howe for third all time in points.
.@68Jagr (@FlaPanthers) is five points back of third place in NHL history: 1. Gretzky: 2,857 2. Messier: 1,887 3. Howe: 1,850 4. Jagr: 1,845
The Ottawa Senators don't appear to be looking for a quick fix.
With the trade deadline approaching, Senators general manager Bryan Murray doesn't see the team making a move for a rental player, Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman reported on Hockey Night in Canada's "Headlines" segment Saturday night.
Friedman said Murray told him it's "unlikely (Murray) does anything unless it's for a player under team control or has term - no rentals."
The Senators find themselves in a tough spot, six points out of the final wild-card position in the Eastern Conference.
