The Leafs rallied from a three-goal deficit to defeat the Flyers and pull within two points of the Bruins for second place in the Atlantic Division.
A shaky Frederik Andersen made 23 saves for the Leafs, who were wearing their throwback green and white Toronto St. Patricks jerseys. Nylander, Nazem Kadri and Ron Hainsey each added two assists.
The defenceman, who hadn’t scored since Nov. 11, 2016, fired a shot from the point that went off the glove of Flyers blue-liner Robert Hagg and in past Elliott at 2:55. Andersen nearly bobbled the puck into his own net later in the period on a clearing attempt during a Leafs power play, but managed to recover before disaster struck.
Gostisbehere then made it 5-2 less than a minute later when he swept home his seventh after a scramble in front.
