PHILADELPHIA — More bodes well for the Islanders than just the seven-game points streak they will bring into Tuesday night’s game against the Flyers at Wells Fargo Center.
They are no longer a team solely predicated on trading chances and getting production from their top-tier players, most notably captain John Tavares. Instead, during this run that begun after they were swept on a home-and-home with the Canadiens on Nov. 22, the Isles (15-8-5) have allowed two goals or fewer in regulation in six of the seven games, going 5-0-2.
