Flyers 3, Islanders 2: Laught it up, up, up
Photo by Elsa/Getty Images The Philadelphia Flyers have struggled to beat the New York Islanders recently, but you can’t pin that on Scott Laughton as the forward scored the game-winning goal in overtime of tonight’s 3-2 decision. It’s Laughton’s first career regular season OT tally and his second OT tally in the NHL, as he pushed Philly to a victory in Game 5 of these two teams’ 2020 playoff series. Laughton’s two overtime strikes have helped the Orange and Black to three wins against the Islanders in the clubs’ last four meetings. Jakub Voracek and Kevin Hayes scored in regulation for the Flyers, while Carter Hart denied 26 of 28 for the win.
