Philadelphia is on the road, off a big win yesterday, and playing well on defense ranked #13 in goals allowed. The Flyers secured the Eastern Conference's final playoff berth with Saturday's 3-1 home victory over Pittsburgh. The win capped a remarkable second-half run in which Philadelphia jumped over three teams by going on a 14-5-3 run since late February. The New York Islanders know they're in the playoffs and care little about this game as they are banged up with injuries. New York will be without Anders Lee due to a fractured fibula suffered Thursday, and goaltender Jaroslav Halak (groin) and defenseman Travis Hamonic (knee) are out. In addition, grinders Matt Martin and Cal Clutterbuck are sidelined by minor injuries, and the team had to play with a makeshift lineup in Saturday's 4-3 overtime loss to Buffalo. The Flyers are 36-15 in the last 51 meetings, so grab the hot, healthier dog. Play Philadelphia.
