"It's nice to rub one in, I guess," Brayden Schenn said with a smile.
The Schenns' parents were not at the game.
"I don't think they can cheer for just one team," said Brayden Schenn, who scored by pouncing on Danny Briere's rebound. "I think they just hope for me and Luke to have good games."
That's what happened Thursday. Brayden Schenn scored the game-winner and won eight of 13 (62 percent) faceoffs. Luke Schenn had two assists, three hits, and five blocked shots.
Brayden Schenn, 20, acquired in the Mike Richards deal, was slowed by a shoulder injury, a broken foot, and a concussion earlier this season, but he has blossomed in the last few weeks.
"He finally feels like he's here," coach Peter Laviolette said. "It was a tough start to have three injuries like he did . . . and they were substantial injuries. I think it does take away from your timing and your conditioning and the game shape you need to be in, and now he's getting it back and finding his way out there."
With the Flyers clinging to a 4-3 lead, Luke Schenn leveled Claude Giroux while the Flyers were in Toronto's end. The Leafs went down the other end, and Sergei Bobrovsky made a key stop on Tyler Bozak (two goals) on a rebound with 5 minutes, 16 seconds left.
In addition to Schenn and Hartnell, Talbot and Giroux scored for the Flyers. Talbot tied a career high with his 13th goal, and Giroux scored just his second goal in the last 17 games, excluding an empty-netter.
Hartnell, with a feed from behind the net, set up Giroux's goal, which was scored 74 seconds before Schenn's.
"Scotty is not known for his passing, but once in a while he'll have a nice pass," Giroux cracked.
The pass gave Hartnell his "Gordie Howe hat trick" - the assist to go with his goal and fight.
