Former San Jose Sharks wing Rudolfs Balcers scored early in the third period to snap a tie and the host Panthers defeated the Flyers 4-3 on Wednesday.
Florida, which let a two-goal lead get away, also got two goals from Carter Verhaeghe and Josh Mahura scored in the third period.
Sergei Bobrovsky stopped 31 shots for the Panthers, who have won three of four to open the season.
New home?
The Flames and city officials in Calgary, Alberta, said they will restart negotiations for a new arena.
Their previous deal, agreed upon in 2019, collapsed late last year when the estimated cost of the project rose and the Flames withdrew. In January, the city hired third-party negotiators to resurrect the project, and those efforts led to Wednesday’s announcement.
The Flames have played for 39 years in the Saddledome, the second-oldest NHL arena behind New York’s Madison Square Garden.
