TAMPA (SNN-TV) – The Tampa Bay Lightning, off to a 1-2 start the season, held their home opener last night, playing host to the Philadelphia Flyers

Philadelphia beat the Tampa Bay Lightning 3-2 last night for the Flyers‘ third straight comeback win to open the season.

Steven Stamkos had two power-play goals and extended his season-opening goal streak to four games for the Lightning, who had their 10-game winning streak against the Flyers halted. Stamkos has six goals during the second-longest goal streak to start a season in team history. Nikita Kucherov holds the franchise record with seven, set in 2017. Andrei Vasilevskiy made 21 saves for the Lightning, who opened the season dropping two of three on the road.

Up next for the Lightning, they’ll be on the road Friday against their in-state rival, Florida Panthers.
