More than a month since the Flyers’ first and only divisional game to date--when they positively thrashed the Capitals in the home opener--they will finally meet a fellow Metro team in the Islanders.
The Islanders currently sit at fourth in the Metro and are coming off a loss to the Hurricanes on Sunday. The Flyers, having lost to the Canucks last night, their fifth straight loss, look to channel their frustration into some kind of tangible result.
With volatility the story of the Flyers’ last few games, there’s a lot to be thinking about as they head into this second game of the back to backs.
