Flyers Fall to Lightning

Martin St. Louis scored the go-ahead goal early in the third period, Steven Stamkos notched his team-record 53rd goal and the Tampa Bay Lightning beat the Philadelphia Flyers 5-3 on Monday night.

Ryan Malone and J.T. Wyman also had goals to help the Lightning win their third straight game. It's a little too late for Tampa, which is 11th in the Eastern Conference and seven points out of a playoff spot with seven games remaining.

Wayne Simmonds, Matt Read and Scott Hartnell scored Philadelphia's goals. The Flyers lost for just the third time in 14 games this month. They've already clinched a playoff berth, but are four points behind Pittsburgh for fourth place and the home-ice advantage in the first round that goes with it.

Dwayne Roloson stopped 35 shots, outplaying Ilya Bryzgalov.
