PHILADELPHIA - Simon Gagne scored his second goal with 1:42 left in overtime, leading the Philadelphia Flyers to a 5-4 victory over the Tampa Bay Lightning in Game 6 of the Eastern Conference finals Thursday night.

Game 7 is Saturday night in Tampa, Fla. The winner will play the Calgary Flames in the Stanley Cup finals, beginning Tuesday.

The Flyers are seeking their eighth trip to the Cup finals, and first since getting swept by Detroit in 1997. The Lightning, in the playoffs for just the third time in their 12 seasons, have never reached the Cup finals.

After Lightning goaltender Nikolai Khabibulin made several outstanding saves, Gagne stuffed a rebound off a shot by Jeremy Roenick into an open net.

Keith Primeau scored twice for the Flyers, including the tying goal with 1:49 left in regulation, and Sami Kapanen had a goal.

Ruslan Fedotenko and Vincent LeCavalier each scored twice for the Lightning.
