New York Islanders News & Notes:
The Islanders have been playing great hockey in their last ten games, with an 8-2-0 record over that span. New York is coming off a 5-2 victory over the Avalanche in which Simon Holmstrom paced the attack with two goals and an assist. The Isles are 7-5-2 against the Metropolitan Division as they travel to meet division rival Philadelphia in an important game for both teams as they try to keep playoff hopes alive.
Philadelphia Flyers News & Notes:
The Flyers are 6-8-1 in the Metropolitan Division and face the Islanders in the third of four meetings this season. The teams have split the first two matchups with the Islanders taking the most recent battle 3-1 on January 24 on the Island. The Flyers are one point ahead of New York in the standings but have played three more games, so this is as close to a must-win as possible if Philly wants to keep their slim playoff hopes alive.

Players To Watch:
New York Islanders
Bo Horvat has 18 goals and 20 assists for the Islanders and looks to extend his 7-game point streak tonight. Mat Barzal has three goals and 7 assists in his last ten games in what has been a disappointing year for the 27-year-old center as he’s battled injuries and only played 28 games.
Philadelphia Flyers
Travis Konecny has 21 goals and 38 assists to lead the Flyers attack. Konecny has 24 points more than the next-closest Flyer (Michkov). Garnet Hathaway has chipped in offensively from the fourth line with four goals in his last ten games.
