The Islanders are finally back on the road for their third meeting of the month with the Philadelphia Flyers. The teams split the previous two meetings on Long Island, but now the Isles are looking to close out a month in which they’re 8-3 thus far.
Philadelphia is playing the second (but little travel) end of a back-to-back after losing badly in Newark last night, splitting a home-and-home with their neighbors.
The Isles, of course, have a shocking five-game win streak on the line and have won 8 of their last 10. The Flyers are one point ahead of them (but have played three more games) and are one of several teams standing between them and the wild card that they’re not going to get.
