You can’t play just 20 minutes and expect to win a hockey game. Unfortunately, the New York Islanders only gave a 20-minute effort tonight in Philadelphia as they fell for their fourth straight defeat.
Sean Couturier got the Flyers on the board first with his 19th of the season. The Islanders would once again have to play from behind in a game.
Although this time, the team responded with a surprising Cal Clutterbuck goal to tie the game up at two. The first period would come to a close with a tie score but Philly had all the momentum.
