5 Observations: Flyers Shock Tampa as Carter Hart, Noah Cates ... (Philly Hockey Now)

The Flyers' Carter Hart was excellent, but Steven Stamkos scored two power-play goals to propel the host Lightning to a xx win.

Deslauriers and Tampa’s Pat Maroon, a former Flyers farmhand, got into a bout with about 11 minutes left in the first period. Unlike in their first two games at the Wells Fargo Center, the Flyers were on their heels at the start. That sliced the deficit to 2-1 with 9:17 left in the stanza. He scored on a pair of one-timers on second-period power-play shots from the left circle. … Joel Farabee fired a team-high four shots and had three hits … That was a familiar sight last season, when they were just 11-25-5 on the road. They were badly outshot (39-24), but Carter Hart was brilliant and the Flyers were oh-so-opportunistic. But Tampa has a much more explosive offense than the first two opponents, New Jersey and Vancouver. Point had a great chance from the slot later in the period that Hart denied. Instead, it was just 2-1 and they had a chance. Less than two minutes into the game, Brayden Point got around rookie defenseman Egor Zamula and went in alone, but Hart stopped him from close range. Just 66 seconds into the third period, James van Riemsdyk scored on a power-play deflection to knot the score at 2-all.

POSTGAME 5: Flyers Earn 3-2 Comeback Win in Tampa (NHL.com)

The Philadelphia Flyers overcame a two-goal deficit to defeat the Tampa Bay Lighnting, 3-2, at Amalie Arena on Tuesday evening.

The Flyers got a power play just 25 seconds into the third period as Stamkos was called for hooking Noah Cates in the Tampa zone. Noah Cates put the Flyers ahead with 7:16 remaining in regulation. The Flyers cut the gap to 2-1 at 10:43. Midway through the period, Point got Travis Sanheim in a one-on-one but the Flyers defenseman played it well and quickly killed the play. At the 1:04 mark, van Riemsdyk set up a heavy screen in front of Vasilevskiy and, for good measure, deflected home a Hayes shot from high in the zone. The Flyers had to weather a heavy early push by the Lightning over the first nine minutes of the game. Shortly after the Laughton goal, Hayes had a Grade A chance in the slot off a Konecny pass. A combination of outstanding goaltending and persistence in the face of adversity lifted the Flyers to 3-0-0 on the young season. A scrum erupted after Hart denied an in-close chance at the other end of the ice at the 2:31 mark. At 9:04, Nicolas Deslauriers dropped the gloves with Pat Maroon.The Flyers seemed to settle in thereafter. In the second period, a pair of power play markers by the scorching Steven Stamkos (5th and 6th goals of the season) staked Tampa to a 2-0 lead. He was outstanding in turning back 37 of 39 shots including a dozen saves in the third period.

Flyers rally again, upset mighty Lightning, 3-2, to improve to 3-0 for ... (The Philadelphia Inquirer)

The Flyers went down 2-0 for the second straight game, but John Tortorella's men again found away, scoring three unanswered to shock the Lightning in Tampa.

He moved Joel Farabee up to play with Kevin Hayes and Travis Konecny on the top line while Scott Laughton moved to Morgan Frost and Wade Allison’s line. [physicality has helped to energize the team](https://www.inquirer.com/flyers/flyers-john-tortorella-work-ethic-physical-identity-20221014.html) to victory. Laughton’s earlier goal had been set up by a pass from Frost to Egor Zamula, with Laughton burying the rebound from the Russian defenseman’s initial shot. When the team sent him to the AHL, Tortorella fully expected to call him back up. Instead of sparking a comeback, the scrum quickly led to another Lightning power-play goal from Stamkos to make it 2-0. Hart made 37 saves on 39 shots in all, while his teammates helped the cause by blocking 16 shots in front of him. The Flyers still allowed the Lightning long spells of offensive zone time, but they also put together strong offensive shifts of their own. Nine minutes and one second into the game, John Tortorella addressed his team with lots of waving arms and sharp gestures. — The Flyers snapped a 10-game losing streak to the Tampa Bay Lightning with their dramatic 3-2 win Tuesday night and improved to 3-0 for the first time since 2011-12. Tuesday night, two Steven Stamkos power-play goals put the Flyers behind the eight ball against the Lightning in the second period. While they officially notched nine “comeback wins,” the fewest in the NHL, all of those came after they trailed by only one. They also extended their three-game winning streak to start the season, all of which are comeback wins.

Game Preview: Philiadelphia Flyers visit Tampa Bay Lightning with ... (Broad Street Hockey)

You can pinch yourself all you want, but you are not dreaming. The Philadelphia Flyers are unbeaten in their first two games to open the 2022-23 season ...

Might not be the best strategy to try and have one of those it’s hockey games, but that is the chance the Flyers have against the Lightning. While the mountain to climb will be much taller, the Flyers could certainly still do it if they fight and win the battle between the depth players on this team. We’re all familiar enough with the likes of Stamkos, Kucherov, Hedman, and Point, so just keep on thinking about their highlights before puck drop tonight. Meanwhile, the bottom pairing of Egor Zamula and Nick Seeler is so far the worst defensive pairing in the entire NHL at driving the play in their team’s favor. What could have been a nice and cute little story, might end up as a bloodbath in all three zones for the Flyers. We’re not saying we’re predicting the worse result imaginable, but think of some hot-headed kid just throwing wild punches in his first couple fights, getting the confidence that he can beat anyone, and then getting tidily knocked out within seconds once they face someone that isn’t a foot shorter than them.

5 THINGS: Flyers @ Lightning (NHL.com)

The Philadelphia Flyers (2-0-0) embark on a tough three-game road trip on Tuesday as they visit three-time defending Eastern Conference champion Tampa Bay ...

Faceoffs have been a struggle for the Lightning over the first week of the season. Steve Stamos racked up four goals and five points on the trip, however, with two goals against Columbus and one tally apiece in the other two games. There are several familiar faces to Flyers fans on the Tampa roster. Tampa Bay went 1-2-0 on their season-opening road trip to play the New York Rangers (3-1 loss), Columbus Blue Jackets (5-2 win), and Pittsburgh Penguins (6-2 loss). The Flyers practiced on Monday with the same primary line combinations they featured in Saturday's 3-2 win against Vancouver. The Flyers have started the season by successfully killing seven of their first eight penalties. However, the first unit has been the better in games at gaining offensive zone entries. The Flyers and Lightning will rematch at the Wells Fargo Center on Dec. There was some understandable rust in the first period of Thursday's opener, but he settled in thereafter. On Monday, the Flyers recalled rugged winger Zack MacEwen and defenseman Louie Belpedio from the AHL's Lehigh Valley Phantoms. While it's never desirable to play from behind, it's an encouraging sign that the Flyers have started the season with a 2-0-0 record despite briefly trailing the New Jersey Devils. This is the first of three meetings this season between the Eastern Conference teams.

Flyers 3, Lightning 2: Noah Cates scores game-winner as Flyers ... (Broad Street Hockey)

The Flyers then leaned on goaltender Carter Hart to shut down Tampa's last-ditch efforts to even the score in the game's waning seconds. This marks the first ...

With momentum securely in the Flyers’ favor, it was eventually Cates who gave the Flyers their well-deserved first (and only) lead of the night. As was the case in their first two games of the season, the Flyers didn’t roll over after falling into the early hole. Just after the game’s midway point, Scott Laughton scored his second goal of the season to cut the Tampa lead in half. Flyers head coach John Tortorella lauded Cates’ efforts all throughout training camp, and that has continued in the regular season’s early going. And he did it doing what he does best — simply being in the way. With just 7:16 remaining in the third period, 23-year-old forward Noah Cates scored the game-winning goal off a Lightning defensive-zone turnover to give the Flyers their first lead of the night. The Flyers advance to 3-0-0, and they’ve done so in spite of trailing in each of their first three tilts. “My job is to stop the puck and our job as a team is to win hockey games, so this was a big win for us tonight.” The other came from, of course, Laughton. Wade Allison fed Laughton — the only player on the Flyers roster currently wearing a letter — with a gorgeous saucer feed through the slot, but Laughton’s redirection attempt went just wide of the net. Hart, who has allowed easy first-period goals in each of the Flyers’ first two games, was excellent early on, stopping all nine shots fired his way in the first third. Just 1:25 into the middle frame, Tampa captain Steven Stamkos scored on the power play to break the ice.

They combined to outscore New Jersey and Vancouver 4-0 in the middle stanza. It gave the Flyers a realistic shot heading into the third period trailing by only one. We just need to get our foundation straightened out and try to play as hard as we can the right way. I don't even want to get into the conversation because I don't think we deserve to be in that conversation right now. They've held the opposition to two goals in each of their three games so far in 2022-23. [Apple Podcasts](https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/flyers-talk-a-philadelphia-flyers-podcast/id1497383342) Of course, it is extremely early, but the Flyers had little to no outside expectations entering this season. "I think a big thing is being aggressive in our game," Laughton said nine days ago about Tortorella's system. Carter Hart was excellent again in net for his third consecutive win.

5 THINGS: Flyers @ Panthers (NHL.com)

Playing the latter half of a back-to-back set, the Flyers (3-0-0) are in Sunrise, FL to take on the Florida Panthers (2-1-0)

The team will not hold a morning skate in Sunrise on Wednesday, and the starting combinations against the Panthers are unclear as of this writing. They are very much subject to change, and could differ considerably at the start of the game in Sunrise: The final kill in the Tampa game was a strong one.There's no need for the Flyers to tweak their approach. In the meantime, the Panthers retain a strong holdover nucleus led by Aleksander Barkov and Aaron Ekblad. Tkachuk and Colin White collected two goals and two assists apiece on the road trip. Philadelphia is playing its third game in four nights, and the second game of a road back-to-back. Prior to Tuesday, the Flyers had started the season with a 7-for-8 mark on the PK. A regular season juggernaut but a playoff disappointment in 2021-22, the Panthers have made some significant changes. In addition to Cernak, fellow defenseman Mikhail Sergachev (1:08) and forwards Brayden Point (1:26), Brandon Hagel (1:16) and Nikita Kucherov (1:08) were unable to get to the bench for a desperately needed line change. They'd have done even more conditioning skating but a high number of injuries to veteran players forced the coaching staff to keep the available players a little fresher to play in the exhibition games. The rest of the period was evenly played. This is the first of three meetings this season between the teams.

'A great tilly': Philadelphia Flyers credit Nic Deslauriers, Justin Braun ... (Broad Street Hockey)

Then not even 15 minutes of play later, after a scramble in front of goaltender Carter Hart with the home team leading by a goal, Justin Braun of all people got ...

We found a way, and sometimes it’s going to be ugly, but yeah, we found a way.” “D-Lo [Deslauriers] got into a fight, Brauner, kind of gave us some momentum and we built off of it that way and continued to grow out game and go that way. “I know he’s a guy that doesn’t drop them too often but he was standing up for myself and for our team in the blue paint and I think that was huge for sending a message to the other team. It was still scoreless, but you could sense that this was just an uneven matchup, so Deslauriers decided to take on the sizeable Maroon and had a great bout. It might not have ended with the Flyers defenseman on top, but for someone whose whole career has been built upon him being the calm, cool, and collected blueliner, it wasn’t a bad tilt against one of the premier power forwards of his generation. It is not a science; it is not some direct correlation sort of thing that can be measured, but we have heard the same tale for decades now that just watching some orchestrating violence awakens some sixth hockey-playing sense.

Pluses, minuses for Flyers-Panthers, Blues-Kraken (NHL.com)

NHL Network and ESPN analyst Kevin Weekes will offer his thoughts for big games each week throughout the season.

Matty Beniers, who had nine points (three goals, six assists) in 10 games last season, has picked up where he left off with a goal and three assists in four games. Minuses: They've lost three of their first four games and have allowed five goals in each of the three losses. Pluses: Free agent acquisition Andre Burakovsky is off to a nice start with five points (two goals, three assists) in four games. 4 pick in the 2022 NHL Draft. Tkachuk has four points (two goals, two assists) and a team-high eight penalty minutes in three games. I think Binnington can play like he did during the playoffs last season (4-1-0, 1.72 goals-against average, .949 save percentage) after a subpar regular season (18-14-4, 3.13 GAA, .901 save percentage). Last season, five teams from the division made the playoffs. Minuses: The Flyers have a lot of young players, so we need more of a sample size to see how this plays out over the season, but they've been good so far. The defense and goaltending let them down last season. Minuses: They've played one game, fewest in the NHL, so it's hard to pinpoint too many negatives from a 5-2 win against the Columbus Blue Jackets on Oct. Minuses: We know they can score but they have to be a more complete team. You can see they are playing like a John Tortorella-led team, and they've locked in down defensively allowing two goals per game.
