The Islanders got a goal early in the third period to snap a 1-1 tie and went on to win Monday's preseason opener over the Flyers, 3-1, at Wells Fargo Center.
Assuming the Flyers hold onto both picks, the team has a great chance to build their prospect pool even more. It is reportedly a deep draft, and recent history suggests that good prospects and potential future NHL stars can be had in the middle of the first round.
