The Tampa Bay Lightning (28-13-3) defeated the Philadelphia Flyers (22-14-8) 5-1 on Tuesday night at Xfinity Mobile Arena on Monday night. The Lightning swept the Flyers in a back-to-back in Philadelphia, having also won 7-2 on Saturday night, and now have won ten straight games.<\/p>\n
Nikita Kucherov had a goal and an assist and has now had a multipoint game in his last nine straight games. Brayden Point also had a goal on the power play, but was injured on the play when Cam York fell on his right leg. He was helped off the ice and did not return.<\/p>\n
Pontus Holmberg got the scoring started with a goal just 1:10 into this game, which would make the score 1-0. That would be the score into the second period when Jake Guentzel scored to make it 2-0 and Point’s goal made it 3-0 before he left with the injury.<\/p>\n
After Philadelphia got one back from Christian Dvorak, Brandon Hagel scored on the power play to make it 4-1 with :31 to go in the second period. Nikita Kucerhov’s empty net goal in the third made it 5-1, which would be the final score.<\/p>\n
Jonas Johansson got the start in net and saved 20 of the 21 shots he face for the Lightning. Dan Vladar went 21-of-25 in net for the Flyers.<\/p>\n
The Lightning remain on the road but now travel to Pittsburgh where they will play the Penguins in the second game of a back-to-back on Tuesday night. Puck drop from Pittsburgh is scheduled for 7:00 PM on Tuesday.<\/p>\n
