The Philadelphia Flyers will play in the Eastern Conference second-round series for the first time since 2012 when they host the New York Islanders on Monday night.
The top-seeded Flyers outlasted the eighth-seeded Montreal Canadiens in six games to set up a series against the sixth-seeded Islanders. New York ousted the third-seeded Washington Capitals in five games and will face the Flyers in the postseason for the first time since 1987.
Philadelphia received a stellar effort across the board from its young talent, highlighted by second-year goaltender Carter Hart and defensemen Ivan Provorov and Phil Myers among others.
