The Philadelphia Flyers with Michael Raffl from Villach are losing ground in the fight for the play-off in the North American ice hockey league NHL. The Flyers lost 3-2 to the New York Islanders after extra time on Thursday and after a disastrous March in April they only won a victory.
Before the remaining 17 games in the regular season, Raffl and Co. have two games played more than six points behind the Boston Bruins, who currently occupy the fourth and last promotion place.
Philadelphia made up an early 0-2 deficit (8th) against the Islanders, but could not use any of the five attempts in the penalty shoot-out. Brock Nelson decided the game in favor of the Islanders, who after 20 games at the Nassau Coliseum of Uniondale are the best home team in the league with 17 wins and lead the East Division.
