The Islanders were looking to bounce back from Tuesday night’s thumping at the hands of the Lightning, in their way was the division rival Philadelphia Flyers. This game was the first of four meetings between the two teams. Missing Anthony Beauvillier and Jaroslav Halak getting the start, the Isles fell 3-2 in the shootout. Their record now falls to 4-6-1 with a date with the Oilers Saturday night. Social media recap below:

Officials get it right, no penalty. First time that's happened to Hamonic… Well, ever.

History will not look kindly upon the era where the #Isles are in black and the Flyers are wearing gold numbers on white.

Looks like DeHaan’s dump-in caught linesman Steve Miller—who may or may not have a band—on the calf. #NHL #Flyers #Isles
