The Islanders scored a 3-0 win that extended their winning streak to six, resulting in them jumping the Flyers, Rangers and Canadiens in the standings.
Any notions that lingering tensions over Max Tsyplakov’s hit on Ryan Poehling two weeks ago might erupt Thursday, with the Russian facing the Flyers for the first time since, were put to bed pretty quickly.
“I think we’re confident in our game, and I think what’s great is when things aren’t going well on a night like tonight, we don’t deviate,” Anders Lee told The Post. “We don’t try to do too much. We stick with what makes us successful, and I think that worked itself out throughout our game, and the right opportunities came because of that.”
Rookie winger Marc Gatcomb doubled the Islanders’ lead just over 7 minutes later after the Flyers failed to pick him up on a line change, finishing Kyle MacLean’s breakaway feed for an easy first NHL point and goal. But Sorokin looked sure that he was interfered with, and after a challenge by coach Patrick Roy, video review confirmed Morgan Frost had impeded Sorokin’s ability to make a play.
