The New York Islanders beat the Flyers with Ilya Sorokin in net, and tonight Semyon Varlamov is probable. He is 16-7-3 with a 2.17 goals-against average on the season. Brock Nelson scored in regulation and had the lone shootout goal in five rounds in the Islanders' victory on Thursday. It was their fourth straight win, and the Islanders are 17-1-2 at home this season. The Rangers have lost four of their past seven, including 5-2 to the Penguins last night. Igor Shesterkin gave up four goals, and backup Keith Kinkaid is expected in net tonight. The Rangers are 4-12 their past 16 games as road underdogs and 7-16 the past 23 meetings with the Islanders, who are 22-6 playing with no rest. Take the Islanders.
