The Flyers won a very contentious game over fellow major market disappointment, the Chicago Blackhawks. The game started out slow, with just a single goal and single penalty in the first period, but both the offense and the chippiness picked up exponentially as the game wore on, before the Flyers walked away with a 4-3 win.

Important games between division rivals towards the end of the season can often feel like four-point games for this reason.
