The Islanders invade the Eastern Seaboard tonight, with split squad games in Newark and Philadelphia. The game against the Flyers will be broadcast on MSG+. Game time in Philly is 6 pm and 7 pm at Prudential Center. The Devils game can be streamed at WFAN.com according to All About The Jersey.

No word yet on if Pope Francis, who's also visiting Philly today, will be in attendance tonight.
