Kyle Palmieri scored in the final minute of the third period to spoil a solid effort from the Flyers in a 4-3 loss to the New York Islanders on Monday night.

Ivan Fedotov debuted in relief as the Flyers rallied late for a point, but the Islanders won in overtime to crowd the playoff picture further.

The dividends that are being paid from several new faces are very clear. Three of those newcomers had multiple points and helped the Flyers get off to their best scoring start through three games since 1983-84 with another six-goal outburst.
