The Flyers are in uncharted waters. The #1 seed are now down 3-1 in what is rapidly becoming a scary series against the Islanders. New York scored a pair of third-period goals to deflate the Flyers and now they face a must-win situation.
Things started out well enough, but the Islanders were able to turn a 7-0 shot deficit into a tally they dominated 18-7 in the first period. Momentum slipped down the drain and then the Isles struck first. From there, the Flyers were fighting against the tide relentlessly, picking up the pace in the second period.
