There were plenty of developments Thursday night at the Wells Fargo Center as the Flyers lost to the Islanders, 3-0. The club was blanked for a second straight game. The Flyers (23-24-6) have lost four of their last five games (1-4-0),

Coach John Tortorella said recently that Ivan Fedotov’s goalie style is weird. But that wasn’t the only weird occurrence inside the Wells Fargo Center on Thursday night.

The win allowed the Islanders to leapfrog both the Flyers and Rangers into fifth place in the Metropolitan Division.

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.
