This is the seventh meeting between the New York Islanders and the Philadelphia Flyers in this shortened season. Of those seven games, four have needed extra time to solve.
In fact, only one of those seven games wasn’t decided by a single goal. That was the Isles 6-1 win on March 20. That win stopped the bleeding flowing back-to-back losses when the sky was falling after the Isles nine-game winning streak.
