The Flyers went to their first power play at 9:57. Martone goaded Charles-Edouar D’Astous into a roughing penalty. The Flyers coughed up a 2-on-1 shorthanded chance but nothing materialized for Tampa as the puck went wide.<\/p>\n
J.J. Moser pinched on for a dangerous chance. The puck hit the outside of the right goal post. Two shifts later, Vladar turned away a point blank chance from Jeff Viel. The Flyers won a defensive zone draw but turned over the puck.<\/p>\n
At 17:29, a Kucherov drop pass created a Gage Goncalves one-timer. Vladar made the save as he tracked it well.<\/p>\n
The Flyers went to their second power play at 18:27. Cirelli accidentally high-sticked York on a forecheck. The Flyers won the first draw, and Foerster snapped a shot on net. With 12 seconds left in the period, David Jiricek made in a stride and snapped a shot on net.<\/p>\n
Philly took 27 seconds of carryover\u00a0power play time into the third period.<\/p>\n
Shots:\u00a0 Flyers 7 (10 overall) – Lightning 11\u00a0 (21\u00a0 overall)<\/p>\n
Faceoffs: Flyers 15 (25 overall) – Tampa Bay 10 (17 overall)<\/p>\n
3RD PERIOD<\/p>\n
Vladar was tested on two early saves. The latter came after a Zegras turnover. Simon Benoit dropped the gloves with Viel. Tampa had each of the period’s first three shots on goal.<\/p>\n
A would-be Tampa goal at 2:58 was waved-off immediately as Hagel interfered with Vladar near the blue paint. Tampa did not challenge.<\/p>\n
At 3:10, Michkov went off for high sticking Hagel. Kucherov one-timed a shot off the side of the net. A failed clear led to extensive pressure. The Flyers survived. Shots were now 25-10 Tampa.<\/p>\n
Zegras put a shot off the crossbar and goal post. Owen Tippett had the feed. Play opened up over the next few shifts before a TV timeout.<\/p>\n
Tampa had another\u00a0 lengthy shift in the Philly zone. The Flyers contained play to the perimeter. Vladar ended it with a clear-sighted glove save from distance.<\/p>\n
Martone took a high elbow from Tampa’s Hagel at 13:33. Philly went to their third power play. \u00a0Once again, the Flyers were unable to capitalize. Zegras set up a near-miss chance.<\/p>\n
David JIricek turned over the puck near the blueline. Holmberg then moved right around him and took the puck down low. Michayev received the puck and scored point blank at 17:00. Holmberg had the lone assist.<\/p>\n
The Flyers pulled Vladar for an extra attacker. Hagel scored an empty net goal with 6.4 seconds left after a feed from Kucherov. The sequence started with a Konecny turnover.<\/p>\n
Shots:\u00a0 Flyers 4 (14 overall) – Lightning 15\u00a0 (36\u00a0 overall)<\/p>\n

POSTGAME RAV4 (RAV4 Things Revisited)<\/p>\n
1. Chance creation<\/p>\n
For the fourth straight game, the Flyers were heavily outchanced as well as outchanced. The sheer volume of shots and chances Philly is yielding is alarming.<\/p>\n
2. Attack\/defend the middle<\/p>\n
Early in the first period, the Flyers did a good job at taking away the middle\u00a0of the ice. Thereafter, Tampa had quite a few good looks over the first two periods. Philly didn’t get much attack overall, but there were some encouraging sequences. Bottom line, however: they were too few and far between.<\/p>\n
3. Special teams<\/p>\n
The Flyers were 0-for-3 on the power play. They went 3-for-3 on the penalty kill. Tampa, however, generated more pressure off their opportunities and carried it back into 5-on-5 play.<\/p>\n
4. Ristolainen<\/p>\n
Banged up in Saturday’s game against Carolina, veteran defenseman Rasmus Ristolainen was a game-time decision in Tampa. Ultimately, he was not able to play.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Flyers went to their first power play at 9:57.
