The Philadelphia Flyers, who were without reigning Selke Trophy winner Sean Couturier, faced off against the New York Islanders out in Uniondale to begin the second half of their schedule and to close out their four-game road trip on Saturday night. The Flyers had a very rocky opening period that they could not overcome and fell to the Islanders 6-1 at Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliesum.
