New York at Philadelphia

Amazingly, unlike most NHL teams, the Islanders have fared slightly better on the road and have actually been a respectful 4-5 in their last nine while traveling. The last time in Philadelphia they extended the Flyers to OT before dropping a hard fought 3-2 decision. The Flyers are another team that has produced better results on the road than at home. While they have just one loss in their last five on the road, they have managed just one win in their last three on home ice. The Islanders have been perfect coming back after no rest as they are 6-0 in their last six when playing the back end of consecutive nights. New York also has a score to settle and have been very tough in this revenge-type situation when coming back after playing the night before, so I'll take them in this one.
