Flyers continue playoff push vs. Islanders
Mar 23, 2008 - 10:18 AM Ny Islanders (33-35-7) at Philadelphia (37-28-10) 7:00 pm EDTPHILADELPHIA (Ticker) - The Philadelphia Flyers will try for their third straight victory on Sunday when they host the New York Islanders.
After posting a dismal 0-2-2 record over its previous four games, Philadelphia has responded by edging out a pair of one-goal victories during their last two games.
The Flyers snapped their slide with a 3-2 victory against the Atlanta Thrashers on Tuesday before claiming a 4-3 shootout win over the New York Rangers on Friday.
Philadelphia is tied with the Boston Bruins (37-28-10) for seventh place in the Eastern Conference with 84 points. The Flyers and Bruins hold a two-point advantage over the Washington Capitals (37-31-8) and three-point edge on the Buffalo Sabres (35-29-11).
The Islanders, however, are 11 points out of the eighth and final playoff berth in the Eastern Conference.
Wade Dubielewicz made 33 saves and rookie Kyle Okposo had a goal and an assist as New York skated to a 3-1 victory over the New Jersey Devils on Friday.
