J.T. Miller and Ryan McDonagh had a goal and an assist apiece, and Alex Killorn, Mikhail Sergachev and Yanni Gourde each scored a goal to lead the visiting Tampa Bay Lightning past the Philadelphia Flyers 5-2 on Tuesday.

Backup goaltender Louis Domingue was terrific with 28 saves as the Lightning won their seventh in a row. Domingue also won his 11th in a row.

The Lightning's 22 road victories and 46 victories overall both lead the NHL.

Tampa Bay played without defenseman Victor Hedman (lower-body injury) and leading goal-scorer Brayden Point (35 goals), who was a healthy scratch for reportedly missing a team meeting.

Oskar Lindblom scored a goal, his third in two games, and Travis Konecny also scored, but the Flyers had their three-game winning streak snapped. Sean Couturier had two assists for Philadelphia.

Flyers goaltender Carter Hart gave up three goals on nine shots and was replaced by Brian Elliott midway through the first period. It was just the second time this season that Hart was pulled for a backup.

Sergachev, Killorn and Miller each scored in the game's first 10:23 to give the Lightning a commanding 3-0 advantage.

Tampa Bay outshot the Flyers 13-7 in the first, the ninth shot resulting in Miller's goal -- and Hart's benching.

Despite going more than 13 minutes without a shot on goal shortly after their three-goal spurt, the Lightning still held the same 3-0 lead as the Flyers were unable to generate much pressure against Domingue.

Jakub Voracek had the best scoring chance for Philadelphia with 4:35 left in the second, but Domingue was able to lift his pad high and somehow stop the puck.

Lindblom put the Flyers on the board with a goal to make it 3-1 at 1:03 of the third.

The Lightning responded when Gourde scored from a tough corner angle with only one second remaining on a power play at 7:42 for a 4-1 lead.

Konecny scored at 10:51 to pull the Flyers within 4-2 before McDonagh scored into an empty net with 37 seconds left in the game.

Elliott stopped 22 of the 23 shots he faced.
