Philadelphia was no match for Semyon Varlamov on Monday as he stopped 29 shots for his second straight shutout. No one has scored on Varlamov in 136 minutes 20 seconds, and he is 8-2 with a sparkling 1.50 goals-against average and .941 save percentage in the postseason. Andy Greene scored his first playoff goal in a decade and got the Isles going in the first period. The Islanders have won six of their last seven games overall and they have beaten the Flyers five times in a row. Philly has lost its last five conference semifinal games. Philadelphia needs to bounce back, but it still has to get something past Varlamov. Play the Islanders on the puckline.
