Philadelphia Flyers vs New York Islanders Box Score on Nov 25, 2023

Tyson Foerster scored in the fourth round of the shootout Saturday night for the visiting Philadelphia Flyers, who outlasted the New York Islanders 1-0 in Elmont, N.Y.

The teams combined for 65 shots in regulation and overtime before each opened 0-for-3 in the shootout. After the Flyers' Samuel Ersson stopped Kyle Palmieri, Foerster -- taking just his second career attempt in the shootout --shuffled the puck several times before sending a forehand over the glove of Ilya Sorokin.

The 1-0 shootout win was the first for the Flyers since they edged the Montreal Canadiens on Feb. 26, 2018. The 1-0 shootout loss was the first for the Islanders since they fell to the Colorado Avalanche on Dec. 19, 2022.

Ersson made 25 saves as the Flyers snapped a two-game losing streak. The shutout was the second for the 24-year-old, who stopped all 28 shots he faced in a 4-0 win over the Buffalo Sabres on Jan. 9.

Ilya Sorokin recorded 40 saves for the Islanders, who had their three-game winning streak snapped but extended their point streak to six games (3-0-3). The shutout was his second of the season and the 18th of his career.

The Islanders didn't get a shot during three power-play opportunities. The Flyers, who entered Saturday just 7-for-68 (10.3 percent) on the power play this season, got three shots on Sorokin during a third-period power play.

Both goalies made impressive saves in overtime. Sorokin stopped Travis Sanheim at point-blank range with 4:30 left and made a sprawling save of a shot by Travis Konecny 75 seconds later. Ersson turned back Bo Horvat on a semi-breakaway with 1:50 left and then stopped Mathew Barzal's immediate attempt to poke a puck into the corner of the net.
