Zach Parise scored the tiebreaking goal with 8:09 left as the New York Islanders spoiled Keith Yandle’s historic night and extended the Philadelphia Flyers’ winless streak to a franchise-record 13 games with a 4-3 win in Elmont, N.Y., on Tuesday.
Noah Dobson, Anders Lee and Mathew Barzal also scored for the Islanders, who overcame an early 2-0 deficit to win for the fourth time in five games (4-1-0) and improve to 10-4-1 since Dec. 7. Ilya Sorokin made 14 saves.
Claude Giroux, Justin Braun and Gerry Mayhew scored for the Flyers, who have lost 13 straight (0-10-3). The previous longest winless streak for Philadelphia was a 12-game skid — consisting of eight losses and four ties — from Feb. 24 to March 16, 1999. Flyers goalie Martin Jones recorded 29 saves.
Yandle provided one of the season highlights for the Flyers by breaking the NHL’s ironman record — previously held by Doug Jarvis — when he appeared in his 965th consecutive game. Yandle started for Philadelphia and a cheer rose immediately after the faceoff.
