The Flyers snapped a five-game losing streak and got some relief on Saturday with a victory, and a comfortable one at that. Here are 10 Postgame Points from Flyers-Lightning.

Four second-period goals paced the Flyers to a 4-2 win over the Tampa Bay Lightning on Saturday at Wells Fargo Center.

There were changes aplenty at practice on Friday following the Flyers fifth straight loss on Wednesday. As the season hits the halfway point against the Lightning on Saturday, the comfortable margin the Flyers had built in the standings is gone.

Given the Flyers 10-game surge and following struggles, should Ron Hextall consider dealing Michal Neuvirth after he gets a few games under his belt? Or do Steve Mason’s inconsistencies make a veteran backup necessary?

As the Flyers took the ice for their first practice since their 5-2 drubbing against the New York Rangers on Wednesday, Dave Hakstol decided to implement some variety up front.

Over the course of the last eight games the Flyers offense has struggled mightily. During their win streak they averaged 3.5 goals per game. Since then, they are scoring at a rate of 1.5 goals per game. The Flyers have scored a total of 13 goals in the eight game stretch.

Troy Terry, the hero from Wednesday’s shootout win over Russia in the semi-finals, scored the lone goal on Carter Hart while Tyler Parsons stopped all five shots from Canada to help Team USA claim the gold medal with a 5-4 win over Canada on Thursday night in Montreal.

Taylor Leier, Jordan Weal and T.J. Brennan will be representing the Lehigh Valley Phantoms at the AHL All-Star Classic on Jan. 30, held at PPL Center.
