Claude Giroux scored twice in the last four minutes as the Philadelphia Flyers came from behind to beat the Columbus Blue Jackets 5-4.

The Flyers found themselves 3-0 down going into the final period, but Jakub Voracek and Braydon Coburn scored at the start of the third to bring the Flyers back in touch.
