The Philadelphia Flyers travel to the New York Islanders looking to stop a three-game road slide. New York is 17-19-7 overall and 4-4-2 against the Metropolitan Division. The Islanders have gone 7-1-1 in games they score one or more power-play goals.

In his return from a conditioning stint at AHL Cleveland, Tarasov was able to record his first NHL win since Oct. 22. The 25-year-old netminder still wasn't exactly sharp, however -- Philly's second goal came on a shot from long range by Owen Tippett in the third period that Tarasov got a fairly clean look at.
