    The Tampa Bay Lightning won a game that had an old-time basketball feel.

    But the NHL didn't have a shot clock to prevent the Philadelphia Flyers' unique strategy.

    Brett Connolly scored 2:30 into overtime to give the Lightning a 2-1 victory over the Flyers on Wednesday night. Connolly won it after Dominic Moore skated into the Flyers' zone and got the puck past a Philadelphia defender into the low slot, from where the rookie beat goalie Ilya Bryzgalov.
