COLUMBUS, Ohio — Steve Mason was brilliant for nearly 59 minutes Tuesday night. He couldn’t hold on long enough to get the Philadelphia Flyers a win they desperately needed.

Boone Jenner scored late in the third period and again in the shootout after Cam Atkinson’s tying goal with 8 seconds left, rallying the Columbus Blue Jackets to an improbable 3-2 victory over Mason and the Flyers.

“We gave away the extra point there,” said Mason, who finished with 51 saves. “It’s a real disappointing thing to happen.”

Philadelphia blew a two-goal lead in the final 65 seconds, but still earned a point. That was enough to pull the Flyers into a tie with Detroit for the final playoff position in the Eastern Conference.

Still, they knew they missed a great opportunity to grab another crucial point on the road.

“Got a two-goal lead and walk away with one point,” coach Dave Hakstol said. “With where we’re at, that’s not good enough for us.”

Lightning 6, Red Wings 2

As the only newcomer to last year’s Eastern Conference champions, Erik Condra has been looking to fit in with the Tampa Bay Lightning.

He was a perfect fit Tuesday night.

Condra ended a 20-game drought with a pair of goals that sent the Lightning to a 6-2 victory over the Detroit Red Wings.

Tampa Bay tied the Florida Panthers atop the Atlantic Division with 89 points. Both teams have nine games remaining, and the Lightning own the tiebreaker with more non-shootout victories (39-33).

“The whole team played a good game,” Condra said. “If we keep that going, we will be a scary team to play against.”
