Following a rough outing yesterday, the Philadelphia Flyers could split the season series with the New York Islanders tonight.
Comfortably in sixth place within the Mass Mutual Eastern Division is not how anyone envisioned this Philadelphia Flyers season. Yet, here they are.
Yesterday, versus the Washington Capitals, the Flyers allowed six goals again (for the ninth time this season). Technically, Alex Lyon faired as well as Brian Elliott. Philadelphia is a perplexing franchise aside from their struggles. It’s their success after giving up six goals that bamboozle.
Elliott will start tonight against the New York Islanders.
