For the second game of a back-to-back on Sunday, both the Philadelphia Flyers and New York Islanders are turning to their backup netminders.
The Flyers will give Carter Hart some rest and give the starter's net to Brian Elliott, the team announced. The 35-year-old has started one game and appeared in two this postseason, turning aside 21 of the 23 shots he's faced.
Meanwhile, the Islanders confirmed they will give Thomas Greiss his first start of the postseason. He appeared in Game 2 of this series after Semyon Varlamov was pulled, and stopped 20 of the 21 shots he faced.
