Left winger Oskar Lindblom scored a hat trick Wednesday as the Flyers defeated the New York Islanders, 6-3, in a rookie game at the Northwell Health Center in East Meadow, N.Y.
A second-period shot by defenseman Phil Myers was deflected by Lindblom for the Flyers' third power-play goal of the night, giving them a 4-3 lead. Seconds later, the Sweden native completed his hat trick.
Lindblom, who had two goals in 23 games with the Flyers last season, finished with five points.
Center Mikhail Vorobyev (two points) converted a turnover into a goal to put the Flyers ahead, 6-3, early in the final period.
