Daily News | Flyers return from All Star break with 2-1 loss to Islanders
Flyers Scott Laughton skates past Islanders Zach Parise during the second period at the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia, Monday, February 6, 2023.The Flyers took too long to shake off the sand and compete against the New York Islanders in their 2-1 loss Monday night.
As they fought for long minutes to get out of the defensive zone to start the game, the Flyers looked like they wished they were still on the beach. They gave up dangerous shots, and Carter Hart was saved by the post and his defensemen a few times. After getting Wade Allison back, Tortorella still decided to go with different lines and pairings. Owen Tippett had thrived with James van Riemsdyk and Morgan Frost, but Tortorella liked how Kevin Hayes and Scott Laughton complemented his game, as well. After a good practice, he decided to stick with it. Tippett’s linemates struggled with penalties, but Tippett created some rushes off of takeaways.
But two minutes after the Islanders’ second goal, the Flyers put together a long offensive possession. They kept the puck and created movement, passing it back-and-forth the offensive zone. Tony DeAngelo took a second to survey the ice from the blue line before taking a shot. Two minutes, 29 seconds after Barzal’s goal, Deslauriers deflected the puck in the cut the lead in half.
