In almost a carbon copy of the first meeting between the two teams in November, the Flyers somehow managed a frantic rally to get the game tied after trailing by three goals and earn a point. But, yet again, they coughed up the chance at the second point almost immediately, as Alex Killorn scored 18 seconds into overtime to give the Lightning a 6-5 win on Thursday night.
The Flyers gave the Tampa Bay Lightning a run for their money in November, erasing a 5-1 lead in under seven minutes to force overtime, before ultimately suffering the defeat. Tampa has some help back in netminder Andrei Vasilevskiy and is also fresh off the break.
The Flyers have one game left before getting a three-day break for the holidays. They travel to take on the New York Rangers on Sunday night.

With one second left, Ryan Johansen put a shot off the post, securing the second straight win for the Flyers by a score of 2-1 over the Nashville Predators on Thursday night at Wells Fargo Center.
Things get a little normal for the Flyers again — no major changes before this home game — as they prepare to face one of the West’s best. The Nashville Predators are in town, providing a test for a team that may still be fragile from a lot of changes.
