Coming off of Scott Laughton’s overtime heroics, the Flyers looked to sweep their two-game series against the Islanders tonight. After being scratched last night, Travis Konecny would return to the lineup in place of Samuel Morin, and both teams would rotate goaltenders.
For the second time in as many nights, the Flyers and Islanders needed extra time to find a winner.
1st Period
Early on the ice was tilted in the Islanders’ favor, leading a shift that saw them hem the Flyers into their own end for quite some time. Ivan Provorov capped off the shift by taking a cross-checking minor, sending the Flyers to the penalty kill.
