Flyers roar back but lose in OT to Tampa Bay, 6-5

The Flyers were cooked Saturday afternoon. They trailed 5-1 in the third period. Their penalty kill had been shredded for three goals in four attempts.

But in a comeback for the ages, the Flyers roared back and scored four goals in a 6:04 span to force overtime.

They only picked up a point, however, because Anthony Cirelli spun away from Wayne Simmonds and scored the game-winner with 3:13 left in overtime, giving Tampa Bay a wild 6-5 victory.

In the last half of the third period, Travis Konecny scored twice, and Sean Couturier and Simmonds added goals.
