The New York Islanders are back at it to take on the Philadelphia Flyers on the road. The Islanders have not been good recently - they’ve been outscored nine to nothing in their last two contests. While one of those shutouts was against a very good Boston Bruins team, the other was against a current lottery team in the Montreal Canadiens.
Fireworks occurred the last time the Flyers took on the Islanders as Jake Voracek injured Johnny Boychuk. Boychuk might get his chance at redemption, but then he might not - Barry Trotz was non-committal to any lineup changes and that could mean that Thomas Hickey is still in for him.
