TAMPA, Fla. -- Jason Garrison ended a wild extra session that included a penalty shot with a nifty goal.
The Tampa Bay defenseman scored his second goal of the game in overtime, and the Lightning beat the Philadelphia Flyers 3-2 on Thursday night.
Garrison's game-winner came on a breakaway at 2:17 of the extra period, which featured end-to-end action in the NHL's first 3-on-3 OT of the regular season.
"How to describe it?" Lightning coach Jon Cooper said. "Lunacy. It's just constant (action)."
"The issue I have with this is, as a coach, players are going up and down on the bench and you miss half the scoring chances."
The NHL moved overtime from 4-on-4 to the new setup this season.
Tampa Bay's Ben Bishop faced his second penalty shot 1:27 into overtime and made a pad save on Scott Laughton.
"That's another new one for me," Cooper said of the pair of penalty shots.
Tampa Bay outshot the Flyers 5-3 during overtime, and 32-25 for the game.
