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

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:
 
Forwards: Mathew Barzal, Anthony Beauvillier, Kieffer Bellows, Ryan Bourque, Casey Cizikas, Cal Clutterbuck, Jordan Eberle, Leo Komarov, Jan Kovar, Jeff Kubiak, Matt Martin, Pius Suter
