The New York Islanders are right back at it tonight as the Philadelphia Flyers visit Elmont after the Isles won last night in Columbus.
The seven-win Blue Jackets are at the bottom of the Metro Division. The seven-win Flyers (7-9-5) are just above them, and are 1-6-3 in their last 10.
They’ve been ravaged by injuries, a primary reason that Kieffer Bellows is now a Flyer and has appeared in nine games with them (0 points, 15 shots, minus-4). Usually he’s gotten around (or below) 10 minutes per game, though yesterday in Philadelphia’s loss to the Penguins he logged a career high 19:12.
