Flyers snap losing streak with 4-3 shootout win over Lightning

The Philadelphia Flyers ended a five-game losing streak with a 4-3 shootout victory over the Tampa Bay Lightning on Thursday night, thanks to key performances from Bobby Brink, who scored two goals, and Owen Tippett, who netted the game-winning shootout goal. Ryan Poehling also contributed with a goal that gave the Flyers a temporary lead in the second period, but former Flyer Cam Atkinson tied the game for Tampa Bay early in the third. Despite being outscored 22-8 in their previous five games, the Flyers showed resilience and improved their shootout record to 5-3 this season. Samuel Ersson made crucial saves, and the Flyers demonstrated defensive improvements by limiting the Lightning to just 20 shots on goal. The Lightning, missing top scorer Nikita Kucherov due to illness, have now lost three consecutive games. Both teams will meet again in just four days at Amalie Arena.
