Flyers 4

Islanders 3

A blown call only camouflaged another blown lead last night.

The Isles came out hard and fast, they buzzed and out-hit the Broad Street Bullies for the better part of two periods. They also squandered another two-goal lead.

The Isles were beaten by the Flyers, 4-3, at the Coliseum last night in a game that ended with a controversial washout of what appeared to be the tying goal scored in the final second of regulation. Replays showed a loose puck cross the goal line before Flyers goalie Robert Esche could fish it out amid a goalmouth crowd, but that doesn’t excuse another late-game Isles collapse.

Alexei Yashin threw the puck at the cage and Brent Sopel hacked at it with 0.2 left to play, but the on-ice officials waved it off after a lengthy review because they said they had blown the play dead.

“On the replay, you could definitely see the puck was in the net,” Yashin said.

Referee Stephane Auger told players and coaches he blew his whistle when he lost sight of the puck, but the Isles blew the game well before that. They carried a 3-1 lead into the second half of the second period, but thanks to more untimely penalties and continued chaos in their own end, the Islanders lost for the third straight night on home ice.

The Isles out-hit the Flyers 15-3 in the opening period and created a rare energy within the rickety Coliseum. They built a 2-0 lead on goals from Miro Satan and Jason Blake’s fifth in the last four games. They even countered Philly’s first goal with a vintage Mark Parrish deflection 1:40 after the visitors got on the board midway through the game, the Isles gagged away another game they should have owned.

“We should have put that game away,” Janne Niinimaa said. “It’s really frustrating.”

Following Niinimaa’s holding-the-stick penalty at 13:29 of the second, Philadelphia roared back and tied it 3-3 with 1:14 left in the middle period. Simon Gagne then scored his second of the game when Alexei Zhitnik and Arron Asham lost sight of a loose puck down low and Sopel couldn’t keep him off it in front for the winner at 12:47 of the third.

Wyatt Smith (14:12) and Sean Bergenheim (3:23) played in their first games after being recalled from Bridgeport . . . When Oleg Kvasha (ankle) was announced as a scratch, the news was met with a smattering of applause.
