It took a little longer than most of the games in this stretch, but the Tampa Bay Lightning picked up their franchise-best 11th win in a row as they took down the Pittsburgh Penguins, 2-1, in a shootout. It was a goaltending battle as Andrei Vasilevskiy picked up his 350th career win by stopping 26-of-27 shots while Arturs Silovs matched him shot-for-shot in regulation with 30 saves. It was a scoreless first period, something that the Lightning haven’t seen much of recently, but there was...

The Philadelphia Flyers hit the road for a quick two-game trip in Buffalo and Pittsburgh this week. They’re looking to get back on track after suffering two blowout losses to the Tampa Bay Lightning to end a 1-2-1 homestand. They’re also looking to get a few key players back into the lineup in Bobby Brink and Jamie Drysdale, who were both injured in last Tuesday’s win against the Ducks. Drysdale was placed on injured reserve on Friday, retroactive to Tuesday, so he’s eligible to retu...

The teams met again two days later once radiance had been restored at The Rock, picking up where they left off with the Bolts up 3-0 midway through the middle frame. Tampa

The power play scored twice in the 5-1 win over the Philadelphia Flyers. Yet, one play casts a lengthy shadow over the win. On his power play goal early in the second period, Brayden Point had...

The Philadelphia Flyers were without a few key players on Saturday night against the Tampa Bay Lightning, and it showed. The team suffered its worst loss of the season, falling 7-2 at home, largely due to an awful effort in the third period. The Flyers’ previous season-high in goals allowed was five, which happened seven times, but Tampa Bay lit them up a touchdown and an extra point on Saturday night. It was a particularly rough game for goaltender Sam Ersson. He has been battling t...
The Philadelphia Flyers are currently experiencing a whole lot of injuries and after Saturday night’s 7-2 loss to the Tampa Bay Lightning, they need these players back as soon as possible. Travis Konecny missed that terrible experience of a hockey game, but he appeared to be quickly getting back into action as he (as well as recently injured Bobby Brink) returned to practice on Sunday morning. Well, about that. Just minutes after Konecny re-joined the group and was taking part in the...

All signs pointed to this being a close game, and it was. Till it wasn’t. Goals by Gage Goncalves and Brandon Hagel just over a minute apart early in the third period turned a close game into a big win for the Lightning as they put seven pucks past Sam Ersson on just 23 shots to start their road trip with a 7-2 win. Goncalves finished with two goals while Nikita Kucherov kept his hot streak going with two goals and two assists. Brayden Point (3 assists), Anthony Cirelli (2 assists), and C...
The Flyers have made it to the weekend, and they’re set to kick off the first of two games against the Lighting on home ice tonight.

The Philadelphia Flyers are hosting the Tampa Bay Lightning for a very weird sequence of back-to-back contests but they’re both going to be at home. And it is just perfect timing for the Flyers to lose a whole lot of their talent from the lineup after Bobby Brink, Travis Konecny, and Jamie Drysdale have suffered injuries this week. With these injuries, the Flyers’ depth will be tested and of course they are facing a Lightning team that has won their last eight games and have the Eastern C...

Sure, it’s a couple of days late, but we’ll just blame the post-holiday brain fog for the timing. As the Tampa Bay Lightning cool their heels for a couple of days, it’s not a bad time to take a look at how things went in a busy December. After righting their season with a blazing-hot November, things were a bit more…chaotic in December. The month started with four losses (not great). Then they found their offense for a couple of games (that’s good!). Next came a couple of losses, includin...
