On the NHL podcast with Joe Lami The Philadelphia Flyers got a big win against the New York Islanders at the Barclay Center in Brooklyn on Monday 4-1. The Flyers Brandon Manning scored his first NHL goal in the contest. The last time we talked about the Chicago Blackhawks they were struggling and it’s looks like the same discussion this week as the Hawks dropped a 3-2 decision to the Minnesota Wild. Chicago goalie Carey Crawford remains out with an upper body injury.

The Nashville Predators Ryan Johansen scored a goal and two assists to help beat the LA Kings 5-2 on Monday night. The Preds got scoring help from James Neal, Mike Fisher (also playing in his 1000th NHL game), Flip Forsberg, and Roman Josi. The New York Rangers win over the Florida Panthers help elevated the Rangers two games over the Pittsburgh Penguins. The Rangers defeated the Panthers with the Rangers goalie Hendrik Lundqvst stopping 25 shots by the Panthers. Sharks goalie James Reimer gets his second shutout in four games shutting out the AZ Coyotes 3-0.
