The Isles advance to the Eastern Conference Final for the first time since 1993
Sept. 5, 2020 – The Islanders advance to the Eastern Conference Final for the first time since 1993, as they defeat the Philadelphia Flyers 4-0 in Game 7 of the Second Round.
The Islanders’ methodical shutout victory featured scoring from Scott Mayfield, Andy Greene, Brock Nelson and Anthony Beauvillier. Former Islanders goaltender Thomas Greiss posted a perfect 16-save performance in the shutout, in what was a defensive clinic by the Islanders. The 16 shots against were the fewest they’d allowed in the playoffs.
