For the third straight day, the Flyers will face the New York Islanders in a preseason game. Once again, the game is at a different venue, taking place in Barclays Center in Brooklyn.

The two teams have split the first two games, each winning on home ice. Tuesday's game is the third of eight preseason games for the Flyers, including the third of four games in four days and the third of four meetings against the Islanders in the preseason.

Game time is set for 7 p.m.

The Flyers are bringing back a lineup similar to Sunday's preseason opener. Oskar Lindblom, Travis Konecny and Nolan Patrick are back in the lineup.

Alex Lyon and Anthony Stolarz will split duties in goal, just as on Sunday.

These were the line combinations used at the morning skate session in Voorhees this morning:

Left Wing	Center	Right Wing
54 Oskar Lindblom	19 Nolan Patrick	11 Travis Konecny
48 Danick Martel	44 Phil Varone	52 Greg Carey
12 Michael Raffl	15 Jori Lehtera	20 Taylor Leier
81 Carsen Twarynski	63 German Rubtsov	36 Colin McDonald
Defense
58 Zach Palmquist	26 Christian Folin
43 T.J. Brennan	59 Mark Friedman
77 James de Haas	60 Reece Willcox

Forwards Mikhail Vorobyev and Nicolas Aube-Kubel skated with the group participating in the morning skate, but are not making the trip to Brooklyn. Defensemen Robert Hagg and Phil Myers were also part of the morning session, but will not play. All four players would have playing in their third game in three days.

The Islanders will once again dress a veteran lineup with the likes of Mathew Barzal, Anthony Beauvillier, Casey Cizikas, Jordan Eberle and Leo Komarov at forward and Johnny Boychuk and Thomas Hickey on defense.

In goal, Christopher Gibson and Robin Lehner will split duties.

The Islanders roster for Tuesday's game is as follows:
