The Islanders must dig deep now if they hope to recover.
Not only have they lost a 3-1 series lead in their second round series against the Flyers, they lost the third-longest game in franchise history, 5-4 in double overtime on Thursday night at Scotiabank Arena in Toronto.
Game 7 is 7:30 on Saturday night on NBC.
Defenseman Ivan Provorov’s shot finally went in at 15:03 of the second overtime, through a screen and off Islanders defenseman Scott Mayfield, who had broken his stick in the Flyers’ zone.
