The Philadelphia Flyers had an opportunity to begin April on the right foot. The New York Islanders buckled down in a shootout.
Before tonight’s game, the Boston Bruins defeated the Pittsburgh Penguins. For the Philadelphia Flyers, that means they were five points out of a playoff spot before the puck dropped.
In the preview to tonight’s game, the New York Islanders goaltender, Ilya Sorokin, was among the highlighted stars. Joining him on the priority list was Anthony Beauvilier. Both players acted as catalysts to the Islanders picking up a victory against the Flyers tonight.
