Tocchet, who left the same position with the Canucks in late April, was recognizable on the big screen midway through the first period and was greeted with both loud boos and some applause.
Bobby Brick, Noah Cates and Travis Konecny ​​each had a goal and an assist, while Carl Grundstrom, Owen Tippett and Christian Dvorak also scored for the Flyers (20-11-7), and Dan Vladar stopped 32 of the 35 shots he faced against Philadelphia.
Matvey Michkov and Trevor Zegras each provided a pair of assistants.
The Canucks (16-20-3) controlled the game early and took a 1-0 lead when David Kampf scored at 3:45.
Vancouver center and Drew O'Connor had a goal and an assist for Vancouver, Tom Willander scored his second goal of the season and Thatcher Demko made 27 saves.
The home side, who recorded a 3-2 win over the Kraken in Seattle on Monday, were unable to withstand early pressure and fell behind early in the second frame.
Canucks: Kampf and Jake DeBrusk are back in the lineup after having health issues in Seattle on Monday. DeBrusk started on the fourth line but quickly moved up to skate alongside center Elias Pettersson. Kampf spent the night on the third line with O'Connor and Kiefer Sherwood.
Flyers: After being outshot 10-0 in the first 10 minutes of the game, Philadelphia gained momentum. The Flyers stepped up their physicality and found ways to clog up the neutral zone, limiting Vancouver's chances, forcing turnovers and causing plenty of frustration.
Grundstrom gave Philadelphia the lead 3:40 into the second by taking the puck from Nikita Grebenkin with his backhand, moving it to his right hand and firing a quick wrist shot up and over Demko to make it 2-1. The Swedish striker now has seven goals on the season, including one in each of his last four games.
Cates and Brink each scored 10 goals on the season, giving Philadelphia six players with double-digit goals in 2025-26. The Montreal Canadiens are the only team with six or more double-digit scorers at this point in the campaign.
Flyers: Visit the Flames in Calgary on Wednesday.
Canucks: Host the Seattle Kraken on Friday.
