Travis Konecny scored his second goal of the season and Matt Read scored his sixth for the Flyers, who improved to 6-5-1 with their third straight victory. Read's goal came with under a minute left in regulation, as the Flyers forced overtime late in the game for the second consecutive game.
The Flyers outshot the Islanders 42-27 for the game and Michal Neuvirth made 25 saves.
