The Islanders and Flyers will resume their second-round series shortly, perhaps as soon as Saturday.
But captain Anders Lee said the Islanders understand there are bigger issues than playing hockey. Thursday night’s Game 3 between the teams at Scotiabank Arena in Toronto was postponed as the NHL players opted to join their brethren in other professional sports in boycotting games to protest social injustice in the wake of a Black man, Jacob Blake, being shot by police in Kenosha, Wisconsin.
