The New York Islanders helped the Philadelphia Flyers enter the record books in two different ways this evening. First, when the puck dropped, Keith Yandle broke Doug Jarvis’s 35-year-old record for consecutive games played with 965.
Then, when the final horn sounded, the Islanders had sent the Flyers to their 13th consecutive loss, a new Philadelphia franchise record. So, some good and some bad for the Flyers.
As for the Islanders, they earned their third win over the Flyers in nine days and reached sixth place in the Metropolitan Division. They did so in dominant fashion, too.
