Travis Konecny had a goal and assist as the visiting Philadelphia Flyers earned a 3-1 victory against the skidding Chicago Blackhawks on Tuesday.

Noah Cates and Carl Grundstrom also scored and Sean Couturier had two assists as Philadelphia won for the second time in as many nights. Goaltender Samuel Ersson recorded 20 saves as the Flyers registered at least a point for the eighth time in the past nine games (4-1-4).

The Blackhawks were outshot 26-21 while losing a season-worst sixth straight game. Ryan Donato scored and Spencer Knight stopped 23 shots as Chicago fell to 2-8-1 in December.

Konecny opened the scoring at 10:17 of the first period. He collected a backdoor feed from Trevor Zegras after getting behind the Chicago defense and beat with a wrist shot from in front of the net.

Zegras extended his career-best point streak to nine games.

The Flyers struck again from down low on a power play at 11:13 of the second period. Cates scored on a snap shot from just outside the crease after a backhand pass from Konecny.

With the clubs skating 4-on-4, Chicago's Ryan Donato drew the Blackhawks within 2-1 at 18:30 of the middle period. He stickhandled into the slot and sent a wrist shot through traffic and past Ersson.

It was Donato's first goal in 12 games.

Grundstrom sealed the result with an empty-net goal at 17:52 of the third period, capitalizing moments after the Blackhawks fell to 0-for-4 on the power play in the game.

Philadelphia was 1-for-4 with the man advantage.

Ersson made a glove save on a Louis Crevier shot from just outside the right circle with 7:04 left in the third period to preserve the lead.

A few moments later, Knight prevented Philadelphia from adding to its advantage when he worked through a scrum after losing his stick to collect the puck with his glove.

Konecny earned the 300th assist of his career. He has 16 points in his past 13 games.

Philadelphia's Travis Sanheim and Barkley left the game due to injuries.
