TORONTO -- The Philadelphia Flyers did what they needed to do for an important win on the road.

They played a solid, two-way game and scored when the chances came their way to defeat the Toronto Maple Leafs 4-2 on Saturday night.

"It was a solid effort through 60 minutes in both directions," Flyers coach Dave Hakstol said. "A good road win for us. ... I thought we played the way we needed to on the road. I thought we were moving well, we checked well."

Jakub Voracek led the way with a goal and an assist for the Flyers (6-5-0) and Brandon Manning, Valtteri Filppula and Claude Giroux also scored.

"Overall, I thought we did a good job of playing your role, playing your position and when you execute your game plan. That's all you can ask," Flyers goaltender Brian Elliott said.

Elliott made 28 saves for the Flyers, who had lost their two previous games and three of their prior four.

"He was on," Hakstol said. "He was seeing it, he was finding pucks, he made quite few pretty big saves for us."

Nazem Kadri scored twice for the Maple Leafs (7-4-0), who have lost two in a row. Frederik Andersen made 26 stops in Toronto's goal.

"We didn't have everybody competing hard enough," Maple Leafs coach Mike Babcock said. "It's a process for us, for sure. Things were easy for us early and now teams have done a real nice job in the neutral zone and made it harder for us.

"We had 10 neutral-zone turnovers in the first period and so, anyway you look at it, that's the National Hockey League. You clog it up in the neutral zone, you make it competitive and you find a way to be good. We've now -- what's this, one win in four games, I think, if I'm not mistaken. Two of them are at home."

An unchecked Kadri scored at 9:07 of the first period after Auston Matthews raced down the left wing and slid him a pass.

Manning scored his first goal of the season from the left circle on a feed from Scott Laughton to tie the game at 12:06 of the first.

"I thought we got pucks low and created offensive chances that way," Laughton said. "I think that's a good way to do it. They can't get speed going when you're in their zone, things like that."

Voracek scored his second of the season at 18:38 of the first, cutting into the low slot from the right wing as the Flyers capitalized on Toronto defenseman Morgan Rielly's neutral-zone turnover. That gave Philadelphia a 2-1 lead.

"We played a pretty good hockey game throughout all 60 minutes," Voracek said. "It's a tough building to play in. It's one of the best teams in the NHL a lot of young guys, a lot of speed. Big win for us."

The Maple Leafs could not organize an attack when they had a five-on-three power play for 26 seconds early in the second period.

"That’s a big part of the hockey game," Hakstol said. "We won the faceoff, we got the clear and they never really did get set up. That was a big momentum builder for us."

Filppula notched his fifth of the season at 11:03 of the second period on a cross-ice pass from Travis Konecny during a power play and the Flyers led 3-1.

The Maple Leafs cut the lead to one when a sprawling Kadri poked home a loose puck for his sixth goal of the season at 13:02 of the second.

"The effort is there, we're trying," Kadri said. "Like I said, they capitalized on a couple of breaks. When you give some of the players they have odd-man rushes, they're bound to score. We just have to tighten up a little bit, that's all."

The Flyers regained a two-goal margin at 15:20 of the second on Giroux's sixth of the season, a rising shot from the left circle to the glove side after Voracek's diagonal pass from the Flyers' zone.

The Maple Leafs removed Andersen for an extra attacker with just more than three minutes to play in the third period.
