Flyers blow 5-3 lead and fall to Lightning

TAMPA – Defensive lapses and shoddy goaltending by newcomer Petr Mrazek prevented the Flyers from holding 3-1 and 5-3 leads Saturday afternoon at the reverberating Amalie Arena.

The Flyers salvaged a point, but they lost a wild 7-6 decision to to the Lightning as Steven Stamkos iced the verdict with his team’s second shootout goal of the game.

The Flyers missed a chance to equal a franchise record with their eighth straight road win.

Travis Konecny and Shayne Gostisbehere (twice) were robbed of goals early in the overtime. The Flyers failed to score on a four-on-three overtime power play.
