TAMPA, Fla. - The Flyers' much-maligned second power-play unit produced two goals Friday night to help end five years of frustration in Tampa.
Flyers 3, Tampa 1.
Sam Gagner, Matt Read and Brayden Schenn scored goals and goalie Steve Mason played solidly as the surging Flyers ended an eight-game losing streak in Tampa since 2011.
Claude Giroux was the only player in Friday's lineup who was with the team the last time it had beaten the Lightning on their home ice.
The Flyers have won six of their last seven games, and they moved to within two points of Detroit for the final wild-card spot in the Eastern Conference.
