Games on back-to-back nights and three games in four nights led both Islanders coach Barry Trotz and Flyers counterpart Alain Vigneault to start their backup goalies for Game 4 of their second-round series on Sunday night at Scotiabank Arena in Toronto.
Thomas Greiss made his first postseason start despite Semyon Varlamov making 26 saves in Saturday night’s 3-1 win as the Islanders took a 2-1 series lead.
