Good start for the Flyers with the forecheck forcing a couple Islanders miscues early. The effort would net the Flyers the first couple scoring chances of the evening, but Thomas Greiss held down the fort early for New York.
Playing for the first time since way back in the Montreal series, Brian Elliott got into the game with a nice stop on Jordan Eberle a little over five minutes in.
Cal Clutterbuck stuck his leg out on Travis Sanheim to give the Flyers the first power play of the night.
