Islanders vs Flyers prediction
The Islanders are back to their losing ways where the offense lets them down. The Islanders have been held to 1 or fewer goals in 5 of their last 10 games. The Flyers shutout the Islanders in their last meeting in November. While the Flyers have also lost 4 straight games, they're at home, and they still have a better chance at a playoff spot than the Islanders. While the Flyers have seen better days recently, I'm going to back them to get a much-needed win at home.
