PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 22 (UPI) -- Mike Richards' goal 95 seconds into overtime Saturday boosted the Philadelphia Flyers to a 4-3 victory against Phoenix.

Richards and Jeff Carter broke out 2-on-1 from center ice with Richards handling the puck. Richards faked a shot as he slid from the left to right wing and hit the net to the far side with Carter providing a screen.

Regulation ended in a 3-3 tie when Carter scored his 14th goal this season at 18:53 of the third period.

Scott Hartnell (unassisted) and Mike Knuble (power play) also scored and Martin Biron was credited with 25 saves on 28 shots in the Flyers' fourth win in a row.

Phoenix got goals from Daniel Carcillo (power play), Martin Hanzal and Todd Fedoruk.

Mikael Tellqvist was beaten four times on 34 shots for the Coyotes, who have lost five in a row.
