The Flyers are back at against a different looking New York Islanders team. Last night the Islanders picked up two veteran players in Travis Zajac and Kyle Palmieri to help their push in the playoffs. Let’s get into it.
Sam “The Body” Morin Defenseman
Sam Morin, who is a big body, powerful player, exits early as he gets called with a questionable hit that sent Cizikas head first into the boards. Morin was hit with a five minute major and a game misconduct. It was a questionable call to begin with, and it ended in a huge advantage for the Islanders. Over recent games, it seems more and more likely that Morin will get calls against him for being a heavy hitting player. The defense had to really step it up and more minutes would be logged for the rest of the group.
