TAMPA, Fla. (AP) — Owen Tippett scored the tying goal in the final minutes of regulation, then scored the deciding shootout goal as the Philadelphia Flyers beat the Tampa Bay Lightning 2-1 on Thursday night.

Travis Konecny ​​also scored in the tiebreaker for the Flyers. Ivan Fedotov stopped 20 shots in overtime, then denied Gage Gonclaves and Victor Hedman in a shootout to earn his first NHL victory.

The win was just the fifth in 14 games for the Flyers, who entered the night tied with Nashville for the fewest points in the league.

Nikita Kucherov scored his 11th goal of the season for the Lightning, who have lost four in a row. Andrei Vasilevskiy finished with 30 saves, falling short of becoming the 40th goaltender in NHL history to reach 300 career wins.

Vasilevskiy appeared poised to reach the milestone when Tippett scored from the left circle with 4:16 left in regulation.

Takeaways

Flyers: Rookie Matvei Michkov was healthy after playing the team’s first 13 games. Coach John Tortorella called the move “just part of the process” in the 19-year-old’s development. Michkov is second on the Flyers with 10 points (four goals, six assists), but has only one assist in his last five games.

Lightning: Returning home after losing three of four games on a tough road trip, Vasilevskiy was outstanding before the Flyers finally broke through.
