The Senators took an early 1-0 lead at 8:39 of the first period when Tkachuk scored on a power play.
The Flyers equalized at 14:44 on Voracek's first goal of the season, also on a power play, as he deflected a shot in front of Anderson and into the net.
Tkachuk's second goal of the game was a nasty wrist shot from the point that whizzed past Pickard at 1:20 of the second for a 2-1 Ottawa lead.
The Flyers quickly equalized at 2 at 3:04 of the middle period when Couturier sent home a rebound for a goal. Gudas took the initial shot, which was saved by Anderson but bounced in front for Couturier to gather and score.
Voracek connected for his second goal at 6:35 for a 3-2 Philadelphia advantage.
In this high-scoring game, the Senators tied it again when Lajoie scored at 11:13 on a power play.
Laughton gave the Flyers the lead again, 4-3, at 15:45.
Philadelphia came out aggressive to open the third period, and after an early power play, Hagg took advantage of a bouncing puck and scored for a 5-3 lead at 4:08.
Giroux extended the edge to 6-3 with a power-play goal at 12:37.
The Senators closed within 6-4 before Laughton added an empty-net goal.
