Kyle Palmieri and Mathew Barzal scored in the Islanders' 2-1 win over the Flyers, New York's first game since acquiring center Bo Horvat in a blockbuster trade with Vancouver last week. Isles
Coach Lane Lambert said Horvat can only help as the Islanders make a playoff push in a crowded bottom half of the Eastern Conference. The Islanders now have 57 points and matched the idle Pittsburgh Penguins for eighth in the East.
Horvat was a non-factor in New York's goals. Palmieri scored his seventh on a wrist shot in the first than snapped the Islanders' 0-for-26 power-play drought. Barzal beat Carter Hart for his 13th goal and a 2-0 lead in the second. "Obviously the caliber of player and person he is going to fit in well with this locker room," Dobson said.Nicolas Deslauriers scored his third goal for the Flyers.
The Flyers won seven of eight games after Christmas and tacked on another three-game winning streak later in January to earn some needed confidence in coach John Tortorella's first season."I think there's a right type of camaraderie going on with this club right now," Tortorella said."I thought we played our best month of hockey in January. I think it builds the belief.
