The undermanned Flyers were no match for the scorching Lightning in a 7-2 drubbing Saturday night at Xfinity Mobile Arena.

The seven goals allowed marked a season worst for the Flyers.

With two goals and two assists, superstar Nikita Kucherov did the most damage for Tampa Bay.

On the Flyers’ side, Garnet Hathaway and Owen Tippett provided the goals. Hathaway recorded his first point of the season with a redirection just 4:15 minutes into the action.

The Flyers (22-13-8) had a three-game point streak halted (2-0-1).

Rick Tocchet’s club was without Travis Konecny, Bobby Brink, Jamie Drysdale and Tyson Foerster. More on the team’s injuries here.

The Lightning (27-13-3) have ripped off nine straight wins, a stretch in which they’ve scored five goals per game.

The Flyers are 0-2-0 in their three-game regular-season series against Tampa Bay. The clubs will wrap things up in two days.

• Samuel Ersson, making his first appearance in January, surrendered the seven goals on 23 shots.

He has given up four or more goals seven times in 16 starts.

Kucherov got him twice in the opening 6:05 minutes of the game. The 2018-19 MVP was left all alone in front for the game-opening marker. Not even two minutes after Hathaway tied it up, Kucherov struck again.

Thirty-five seconds later, Ersson received a Bronx cheer when he made a save. He heard some more in the third period. The 26-year-old entered the game with the worst save percentage of his career at .868.

Ersson found his footing a bit after the early goals, but Nick Paul extended the Lightning’s lead to 3-1 in the second period. After Ersson made the initial stop, Paul rolled in unimpeded for the rebound opportunity.

Tampa Bay then went off for four goals in the third period to make it a total rout. The Flyers definitely opened up defensively as they pushed for offense, which didn’t help Ersson’s chances.

Andrei Vasilevskiy, who came in with consecutive shutouts over the Flyers, stopped 18 shots for the Lightning.

• The Flyers began Saturday tied with the Capitals for the NHL’s second-worst power play at 15 percent.

The woes on the man advantage were costly in the club’s 2-1 overtime loss Thursday night to the Maple Leafs.

On Saturday night, the Flyers went 1 for 2. Tippett’s power play goal stopped the third-period bleeding temporarily for the Flyers.

• The Flyers and Tampa Bay meet again Monday back here at Xfinity Mobile Arena (7 p.m. ET/NBCSP).
