Coach John Tortorella said recently that Ivan Fedotov’s goalie style is weird. But that wasn’t the only weird occurrence inside the Wells Fargo Center Thursday night. The Flyers’ continuing troubles in the second game of a back-to-back matchup — they are now 1-8-1 in those games — continued following a 3-0 loss to the New York Islanders.

Ilya Sorokin made 23 saves for his third shutout of the season, Marc Gatcomb scored his first NHL goal and the New York Islanders won their sixth straight game with a 3-0 victory over the Philadelphia Flyers.

But when a stretch of eight Metropolitan Division games out of nine ended on Thursday night, the Flyers’ 3-0 loss to the visiting New York Islanders left Philadelphia’s record at 3-4-1 for that key segment.

The New York Islanders (22-20-7) will travel for the first time since January 11 in Utah, following a largely successful seven-game homestand that revived this season. The Philadelphia Flyers (23-23-6) will await them in the city of Brotherly Love,

Tonight's game between the Philadelphia Flyers and New York Islanders at Wells Fargo Center promises to be a high-energy and potentially heated affair.

The Flyers, who currently rank 19th on the PK, finished fourth last season and led the NHL with 16 shorthanded goals.

This is the second of a home-and-home series. Philly won its home game on Monday, 4-2, over New Jersey, which will host the Wednesday matchup.
