Islanders continue to experience serious game problems. The New York team is a vivid example of how to turn from a Stanley Cup contender into one of the league's underdogs in the shortest possible time. That's exactly what happened the season before last when all the world's troubles fell on the Islanders, and because of that, they managed to get past the playoffs. They participated in the cup battles a year earlier but fell out in the first round. Now the Blue and Orange have enough problems. They started the regular season well but then gave a 7-match losing streak, which was broken in the last game with Calgary - 5:4. They sit 12th in the Eastern Conference standings.

Philadelphia is trying to excite the hockey community, proving that they can contend for a playoff spot. The Flyers have been so abysmal the last few years that you couldn't even think about their cup ambitions. And now they look very decent in the regular season. In 13 starting games, they managed five wins with eight losses, which could be considered an everyday result. Still, the Black and Orange beat Anaheim 6:3, Los Angeles 4:2, Carolina 3:1, Vegas 4:3, and Columbus 5:2. The five straight wins have moved the Pennsylvanians into sixth place in the Eastern Conference standings.

The Islanders and Philadelphia played very differently during the last stretch of the regular season. The Islanders have a serious game crisis, because of which they suffered seven defeats in the last eight meetings, and the only victory was won in a shootout over a suffering Calgary. The Flyers, on the other hand, are doing very well, having won their last five games in a row, which allows them to keep their place in the Eastern Conference Cup Final Eight.

Islanders have always been distinguished by the desire to act pragmatically, and built defensive structures allowed them to collect points, claiming the highest places actively. If we turn to the statistics of pucks conceded to the Islanders now, we can conclude that they have something broken. In the last eight games, the Blue and Orange have conceded 33 pucks (4.13 average per game). The Flyers, who are in great shape, should take advantage of this.
