Ilya Sorokin recorded his third shutout of the season with 23 saves, marking the 21st shutout of his career.
Marc Gatcomb scored his first NHL goal, while Simon Holmstrom and Kyle Palmieri also contributed goals for the Islanders.
The Flyers had a goal by rookie Matvei Michkov overturned for goaltender interference, and Michkov was benched after a heated exchange with coach John Tortorella.
The Islanders' win extended their streak to six games, moving them up in the Metropolitan Division standings and keeping them in playoff contention.
Philadelphia suffered its second consecutive shutout loss and has now dropped four of its last five games, struggling offensively during this stretch.
