Flyers Look For Third Straight Win At Isles
PHILADELPHIA (CBS) -- The Flyers will be up in Brooklyn tonight to skate with the New York Islanders.
Philadelphia will be looking for a third-straight win in this one. A road victory on Sunday against Carolina was followed up last night by a 4-3 win in overtime against Detroit at the Center.
In what has become a common theme this season, the Flyers started slow against the Red Wings, falling behind 2-0 after a period. They then trailed 3-2 in the third before Mark Streit tied the game with 64 seconds remaining in regulation. Jakub Voracek scored the game-winner in overtime.
Overall this season, the Flyers are 5-5-1 and currently fourth in the Metropolitan Division. Tonight they face an Islanders team that is 4-6-0 and in seventh place in the Metro. New York last played on Tuesday night when they got blitzed by Tampa Bay at home, 6-1.
This will be the first of four meetings between these two teams this season.
KYW's Matt Leon spoke with Dave Isaac of the Courier Post about the Flyers, their slow starts and tonight's game.
