Flyers beat Lightning in 7th round of shootout

TAMPA, Fla. - The Philadelphia Flyers needed extra time to finally beat the Tampa Bay Lightning.

Defenseman Kimmo Timonen scored in the seventh round of the shootout and the Flyers defeated Tampa Bay 4-3 on Tuesday night in a matchup of the top two teams in the Eastern Conference.

"Sometimes you have to put D-men out there to do something else," Timonen said. "I've got one move and that's my move. I wanted to come at full speed and wait for him to make the first move."
