The Islanders scored a 3-0 win that extended their winning streak to six, resulting in them jumping the Flyers, Rangers and Canadiens in the standings.

Ilya Sorokin made 23 saves for his third shutout of the season, Marc Gatcomb scored his first NHL goal and the New York Islanders won their sixth straight game with a 3-0 victory over the Philadelphia Flyers.

Speaking to reporters after the Flyers’ optional morning skate, Scott Laughton said the Flyers “need to get rolling here.” Well, let the good times roll. The Flyers had a wire-to-wire 4-2 win against the New Jersey Devils on Monday night at the Wells Fargo Center.

The Flyers have that covered. Looking listless, uninspired and a little lost at times, the orange and black faltered, 3-0, to the Islanders Thursday night in South Philly, falling further back in the hustle for an unexpected playoff spot. It was their third game in five tiring nights.

What a way for the Islanders to close out January. The New York Islanders took care of business in Philadelphia as they defeated the Philadelphia Flyers 3-0 for their sixth straight win. Ilya Sorokin turned aside all 25 shots for his third shutout of the season. The Islanders end the month of January with a record of 9-3-0.

But when a stretch of eight Metropolitan Division games out of nine ended on Thursday night, the Flyers’ 3-0 loss to the visiting New York Islanders left Philadelphia’s record at 3-4-1 for that key segment.

The Flyers’ continuing troubles in the second games of back-to-back matchups continued following a 3-0 loss to the New York Islanders, in a game in which Morgan Frost and Matvei Michkov did not see the ice halfway through the second period and beyond.

Scott Laughton was back with the Flyers after being away for a personal family matter and Ryan Poehling returned to the ice in his recovery from a head injury.

Travel really hasn’t been that big of a deal either. In last week’s back-to-back, the Flyers played at the Rangers on Thursday and the Islanders on Friday. That’s only a 30-minute bus ride between venues and they lost both games by a combined score of 9-2.

The Philadelphia Flyers opened a home-and-home set against the New Jersey Devils with a 4-2 win at Wells Fargo Center on Monday evening.

Only four skaters, including the returning Laughton (family matter), and two goalies took part in Monday’s morning skate due to "nicks, sickness"
