The New York Islanders look to close out the Philadelphia Flyers in Game 5 on Tuesday night.
Game 4 saw the New York Islanders grab a 3-1 series lead over the Philadelphia Flyers. Tuesday’s Game 5 will determine if the Flyers are going home or if they’ll live to fight another game. This game starts at 7:00 p.m. EST and will be held in Toronto.
The Flyers have their backs against the wall. However, it’s worth noting this team has done a lot of good things this season when their backs have been against the wall. They responded whenever the Montreal Canadiens beat them in the first round.
However, the Flyers haven’t been able to do that against the Islanders. Their only win of the series, Game 2, came in overtime. They’ve allowed at least three goals in each game of the series and are averaging under two goals per game, with seven goals scored in four games.
