Isles win in shootout, Flyers skid reaches 9

PHILADELPHIA — Oliver Wahlstrom scored in the ninth round of a shootout to lift the New York Islanders to a 4-3 win Tuesday night and send the Philadelphia Flyers to their ninth straight loss.

Just like the Flyers’ losing streak, the shootout went on and on until Wahlstrom finally got one past

Carter Hart to help the Islanders beat the Flyers for the second straight night. New York was playing its first road game since Dec. 14 after topping Philadelphia 4-1 at home Monday.

Casey Cizikas hadn’t scored a goal since Nov. 4 until he got one against the Flyers on Monday, and then he tied this one with 4:28 left in regulation.

The Islanders improved to 1-3 in shootouts.

Robin Salo, a second-round pick in the 2017 draft, scored his first

NHL goal for the Islanders on a shot from the circle 2:08 into the game for a 1-0 lead. The Flyers heard the horn on a potential tying goal, only for replay to review them offside and wave it off. James van Riemsdyk jammed in a power-play goal late in the period to make it 1-all.

Josh Bailey made it 2-1 in the second when he poked one in for

New York.

Travis Konecny hadn’t scored in 20 straight games until he got a goal against the Islanders on Monday. He went back-to-back when Semyon Varlamov failed to hold onto a shot off his pads and Konecny knocked in the tying goal.
