This is an important game for both the Flyers and Islanders with playoff positioning on the line. It means that each team's top goalie should be in the net. New York's Ilya Sorokin has already been confirmed. The Islanders give up the fourth-fewest goals in the NHL in large part because of Sorokin. He has a chance of winning the Vezina Trophy as the league's top goalie. Sorokin is 28-20-2 with a 2.59 GAA, .910 SV%, and seven shutouts this year. He has a 12-3-3 career mark against the Flyers with a 1.53 GAA, .946 SV%, and five shutouts. The Islanders shut out the Flyers, 4-0, at Philadelphia behind Sorokin in the last meeting on Jan. 26. Philadelphia has scored only 15.3% of the time when having a man advantage. That is the worst power play percentage in the NHL. Philadelphia is 24th in scoring. The Flyers are expected to start Dan Vladar in net. He is 24-13-7 with a 2.50 GAA and .904 SV% this season. The Islanders are 22nd in scoring and 30th on the power play. Take the UNDER.
