Islanders Gameday News: Hosting the Flyers fresh off a loss to the Capitals

Howdy folks, and happy Martin Luther King Jr. Day. I hope everyone is enjoying their day off (if you’re actually off).

The New York Islanders often have a matinee game on MLK Day. They do not this year.

Instead, they will host the Philadelphia Flyers at a normal game time, 7:30 p.m. ET. That way, if you are working today, you can still catch the game. Sorry, kids who wanted to watch the whole game but aren’t allowed to stay up that late.

It’s a home-and-home with the Flyers; the Isles will head to Philly to play their one single road game before coming home until the All-Star break.
