Flyers Fall to Lightning
Teddy Purcell scored the tiebreaking goal midway through the third period and the Tampa Bay Lightning beat the Philadelphia Flyers 4-2 on Monday night.
Purcell's in-close deflection at 9:25 of the third came shortly after the Lightning killed off a short-handed situation.
Ondrej Palat, Tom Pyatt and Steven Stamkos also scored for Tampa Bay, which is 12-1 when leading after the first period. Stamkos scored his 21st goal this season into an empty net with 3 seconds to play.
Maxime Talbot and Claude Giroux scored goals for Philadelphia, which is 0-11 when trailing entering the second period.
