Fresh off of a 4-1 victory over the Florida Panthers in their previous contest, the Philadelphia Flyers will round out the second half of a back-to-back by taking on the New York Islanders on the road. The Isles took the two previous meetings this season, beating the Flyers by a combined score of 9-6 in those contests. Philly hoped to bounce back from the two losses and avoid the possibility of being swept for the first time in the past ten years.
This Metropolitan Division clash will be a critical one for each side, as it’ll play a significant role in what the Eastern Conference playoff picture will look like with less than two months to go.
