A recent groin injury to veteran Evgeni Nabokov has left the No. 1 job to Kevin Poulin, but he's struggled in that role.
Poulin has compiled an .867 save percentage in his past four appearances and is 0-2-0 with a 3.05 GAA in two career starts against the Flyers. The Islanders' shaky goaltending hasn't been helped by the league's worst penalty-killing unit, which has allowed 17 goals over the last 41 short-handed situations. The Isles face the Flyers today. Success against the Islanders has become the norm for the Flyers, who are 24-3-2 in the series since the 2008-09 season. They are 15-1-2 in the last 18 home games versus New York, though one of those losses was a 4-3 shootout defeat March 13.
