Islanders Suffer Shootout Loss to Flyers Despite Sorokin's 40 Saves

Fatigued Islanders extend point streak to six games, despite weakened defense and loss of key players.

The New York Islanders suffered a 1-0 shootout loss to the Philadelphia Flyers, despite a strong performance from goaltender Ilya Sorokin who made 40 saves.
The Islanders were noticeably fatigued, having played with only four defensemen for most of their previous game.
The Islanders' defense is further weakened by the loss of Adam Pelech, who has been placed on long-term injured reserve, and Sebastian Aho, who is out for an unknown period of time.
The Flyers' Tyson Foerster scored the game-winning goal in the shootout, helping the Flyers snap a two-game losing streak.
Despite the loss, the Islanders extended their point streak to six games.
