The Philadelphia Flyers entered Friday night's game at UBS Arena looking to rebound after a tough loss the New York Rangers the night before, but they fell short again, losing 3-1 to the New York Islanders.

Long Island native Billy Joel once sang, “Don’t ask me why.” But maybe the Flyers should ask that after suffering their 22nd loss of the season, the sixth-most in the NHL. Time is ticking. They cannot ask for favors with just 32 games left.
