NEWARK, N.J. — The Flyers played a commendable game on the second night of a back-to-back set to beat the Devils, 5-3, Saturday at the Prudential Center.

Owen Tippett, Matvei Michkov, Travis Konecny and Trevor Zegras all scored goals for the Flyers. Tippett was awarded his second because of a tripping call when New Jersey’s net was emptied.

Tippett (two goals, one assist), Konecny (one goal, one assist), Zegras (one goal, one assist) and Travis Sanheim had multi-point efforts.

Dan Vladar made huge saves for the Flyers.

The Flyers (14-7-3) are 8-2-2 in their last 12 games and went 3-1-0 on their road trip, which spanned only six days.

Rick Tocchet’s club was coming off a 4-3 shootout win Friday over the Islanders. Entering this one, the Flyers were just 1-12-2 in the second game of back-to-back sets since last season.

Make that 2-12-2 now.

New Jersey also played Friday, rolling the Sabres on the road, 5-0.

“From my experience, on the back-to-backs, I call it a professional game — good angling, short shifts, don’t put yourself in bad positions, use the bench,” Tocchet said before the game. … “They’re playing a back-to-back, too, so there’s no advantage tonight, there’s no excuse for tired teams. They played in Buffalo last night, so it’s an even game when it comes to energy.”

The Flyers are 2-0-0 in their three-game regular-season series with the Devils (16-8-1). They beat New Jersey a week ago when they scored three goals in 26 seconds en route to a 6-3 decision at Xfinity Mobile Arena.

The Devils have been without star forward Jack Hughes, who’s recovering from finger surgery.

• Vladar was really good with 28 saves on 31 shots.

The 28-year-old had a brilliant stop with 16 seconds left in the first period to keep the game tied at 1-1. The Flyers were on the penalty kill and Vladar denied Nico Hischier’s backdoor tip-in attempt.

The Flyers rewarded Vladar with a fast start after intermission. Michkov popped out of the penalty box and scored off a 2-on-1 with Konecny just 53 seconds into the second period.

Konecny then cushioned the Flyers’ lead to 3-1 a little under two and a half minutes later. Cam York made a nifty move around the blue line to set it up and Michkov provided a screen.

Vladar also delivered a big-time save with 2:33 minutes left in the second period when the Flyers were up 4-1 and the Devils had a 2-on-1 shorthanded chance

New Jersey trimmed the Flyers’ lead to 4-2 with a power play goal in the final minute of the middle stanza. Dawson Mercer then made it really interesting when he dangled around the Flyers’ defense in the third period to draw the Devils within 4-3.

But Vladar and the Flyers held on.

New Jersey netminder Jacob Markstrom stopped 28 of the Flyers’ 32 shots.

• After being shut out by the Lightning, 3-0, to open the road trip, the Flyers scored 12 goals over the final three games.

Tippett opened the scoring against the Devils just 5:18 minutes into the action with his 100th career goal and 200th career point. He made a nice move at the doorstep off a feed from Christian Dvorak, who finished November with 11 points (four goals, seven assists) in 14 games.

Zegras also recorded an assist on the play and then added his goal in the second period to make it 4-1. After Jesper Bratt hit iron on a breakaway, the Flyers immediately countered with a 3-on-1 rush and Zegras capitalized.

The Flyers improved to 12-2-2 when the 24-year-old trade acquisition records a point.

• Tyson Foerster and Nick Seeler had tough blocked shots on the same shift in the second period as the Flyers were protecting a 3-1 lead.

The Flyers also had two key penalty kills in the third period as the Devils were pushing for the game-tying goal.

• The Flyers return home for a matchup Monday against the Penguins (7 p.m. ET/NBCSP).
