Flyers look to rebound, solidify playoff position

Mar 29, 2008 - 1:22 PM Philadelphia (39-28-11) at NY Islanders (34-37-7) 7:00 pm EDT

UNIONDALE, New York (Ticker) - The Philadelphia Flyers look to get back in the win column when they face the New York Islanders on Saturday.

Philadelphia had a four-game winning streak snapped on Friday, dropping a 5-4 decision to New Jersey in a shootout.

Mike Knuble had tied the game with 55 seconds to play in regulation for the Flyers, but all three of the Devils shooters scored in the shootout.

Despite the loss, Philadelphia moved into sole possession of seventh place in the Eastern Conference, one point ahead of Boston (39-28-10) and three points ahead of Washington (39-31-8).

The Flyers have enjoyed success against the Islanders this year, posting a 6-1-0 mark against the Atlantic Division rival.

Philadelphia has won the last three meetings - all by a 4-1 score - including a victory in the most recent contest last Sunday.

The Islanders offense, which has been a problem all season, is tied for last in the league with 186 goals.
