The Flyers points streak came to an end on Thursday night against the Rangers. The good news is that they immediately get a chance to erase that result on Friday night.

The Flyers face the New York Islanders for the second time in eight days, as the two meet once again on Long Island.

Game time is 7:30 p.m.
