Coming off a six-game series victory against the Montreal Canadiens, the Philadelphia Flyers face their gravest challenge. Of all the teams making up the Eastern Conference in the 2020 Stanley Cup playoffs, the New York Islanders are the most dangerous. Through the 2019-2020 regular season, the Flyers are without a win against the Islanders. They are the only team Philadelphia has not been able to defeat. The Tampa Bay Lightning were also undefeated against the Flyers in the regular season but lost to Philadelphia in the round-robin.
Jakub Voracek, the Philadelphia Flyers leading scorer this postseason, would be third in scoring on the New York Islanders.
