The Philadelphia Flyers didn’t get off to a great start on Tuesday, as they found themselves down 3-1 early in the second period.

They decided to pull goalie Steve Mason and replaced him with Michal Neuvirth and that seemed to give them a spark.

Neuvirth stopped all 16 shots he faced and Philadelphia got second and third period goals from Ryan White and Claude Giroux to force overtime.

The Islanders have three shootout wins in their last four games.
