Game 3 of the Flyers-Islanders series was postponed and the rest of the schedule needed to be updated as a result and the revised schedule was released on Friday morning.
Game 3 of the Flyers series against the New York Islanders has been postponed in the wake of social injustice following the shooting of Jacob Blake. The NHL joined other major leagues in postponing games over the last 48 hours.

After letting a 3-0 lead slip away, Phil Myers fired a shot past Thomas Greiss to finish off a 4-3 Flyers win in overtime, evening the series with the Islanders at one game apiece.
The Flyers have to play from behind in a series for the first time, trying to find a way to even things up in Game 2 on Wednesday afternoon.
The Islanders showed they are a team that has a lot – the talent behind the bench, the depth up front, the defensive structure and the goaltender to get the job done.

The Flyers got off to a slow start and the Islanders buried them in the third with three goals to secure a 4-0 win in Game 1.
