PHILADELPHIA — Brad Lukowich scored with 49.5 seconds left in overtime and the Devils beat Philadelphia 6–5 last night, extending the Flyers’ franchise-worst, home-losing streak to 12 games.

Rookie defenseman Alexandre Picard had five assists for the Flyers, who have the NHL’s fewest wins (12) and points (31).

Zach Parise scored the tying goal with 31.8 seconds left in regulation after Peter Forsberg gave the Flyers a 5–4 lead with 4:10 left.

Lukowich redirected a onetimer by fellow defenseman Brian Rafalski past goalie Antero Niittymaki to win it.

Travis Zajac scored two goals, and Patrik Elias and Jamie Langenbrunner also scored for the Atlantic Division-leading Devils.

Mike Knuble had two goals, and Ben Eager and Dimitry Afanasenkov added goals for the Flyers. Picard had been scoreless in 19 games and came in with two goals and six assists in 36 games.

The Flyers haven’t won at home since beating former coach Ken Hitchcock in his debut with Columbus on November 24, and have just three victories there in 24 games.

With Martin Brodeur off the ice for an extra skater, Parise took a behind-the-net pass from Langenbrunner and scored his 19th goal to force overtime.

The Devils improved to 5–0 against Philadelphia. The division rivals usually battle each other for first place, but are polar opposites this season. The Flyers are sure to miss the playoffs for the first time since 1994, while New Jersey is fighting for the no. 1 spot in the Eastern Conference.

Just 40 seconds after Knuble’s second goal gave the Flyers a 4–3 lead, Langenbrunner tied it with his 17th. Langenbrunner’s shot from the left circle bounced off Niittymaki’s glove and went in.

Forsberg set up Knuble’s goahead goal with a perfect, cross-ice pass to Simon Gagne. Knuble redirected Gagne’s shot past Brodeur for his 19th. Afanasenkov scored off his own rebound early in the third period to tie it 3–3.
