The decision made on Thursday carried over to Saturday.
Derick Brassard made his first appearance in the Islanders’ second-round series as he was back in the lineup for Saturday night’s Game 3 against the Flyers at Scotiabank Arena in Toronto after being a healthy scratch the previous three games.
Ross Johnston, who entered the lineup for the Islanders’ clinching Game 5 win over the Capitals in the first round for Brassard, was a healthy scratch on Saturday.
