The desperation to break a six-game losing streak can be powerful medicine for a hockey club.
Last night at the St. Pete Times Forum, it was plenty powerful for the Tampa Bay Lightning, who ended their skid as well as the Flyers’ six-game winning streak with a convincing 5-2 decision. [.continue.]

Problems the Flyers have had recently finally caught up to them in the win lose column.
The Flyers have been losing key face offs, currently ranked 26th in the league in face off wins. 34 percent won against the Lightning. Penalty kill, they are dead last in the league. The Flyers gave up 2 power play goals on 6 penalty kills. The proverbial straw that broke the camel’s back last night was turnovers. The Flyers had a hard time moving the puck out of their zone. Something the Flyers worked hard on in practice today.
Forsberg scored the only two Flyers goals.
Prospal, Forsberg and Boyle were the three stars.
