Connolly’s OT Goal Lifts Lightning Over Flyers 2-1

Brett Connolly scored 2:30 into overtime to give the Tampa Bay Lightning a 2-1 victory over the Philadelphia Flyers 2-1 on Wednesday night.

Connolly won it after Dominic Moore skated into the Flyers' zone and got the puck past a Philadelphia defender into the low slot, from where Connolly beat goalie Ilya Bryzgalov.

Marc-Andre Bergeron netted the tying goal in the third period for the Lightning, who have won seven of nine.

Scott Hartnell had the lone goal for the Flyers. Philadelphia routed Columbus 9-2 on Saturday but was shut down by Tampa Bay, which outshot the Flyers 24-15.

Philadelphia defenseman Chris Pronger returned after missing six games because of a right eye injury.
