Jeremy Roenick had a goal and assist, and Mark Recchi scored the go-ahead goal to lead the Philadelphia Flyers to their fourth straight win, 2-1 over the New York Islanders on Tuesday night.

Jeff Hackett stopped 23 shots, and center Michal Handzus made a brilliant save to help Philadelphia win for the fifth time in six games and remain unbeaten at home (5-0-2). Vancouver (7-0-1) is the only other NHL team without a home loss.

Adrian Aucoin scored for the Islanders, who have lost consecutive games for the first time this season. New York blew a 2-0 lead in a 4-3 loss to Atlanta on Saturday.

Just 50 seconds after the Islanders tied it at 1 in the second period, Recchi gave the Flyers another lead with his fifth goal. Marcus Ragnarsson's shot from outside the circle was knocked down by Aucoin in front of the net, but Recchi got the rebound and slid it past Islanders goaltender Garth Snow.

Snow, a former Flyers player, had 31 saves. He was unbeaten his previous three starts.

The best save of the night came early in the second period when Handzus slid into an empty net and stopped a point-blank shot by Shawn Bates after Trent Hunter drew Hackett away from the crease with a terrific move.

Roenick gave the Flyers a 1-0 lead with 4:28 left in the first. He took a centering pass from Tony Amonte and slapped it past Snow for his seventh goal.

The Islanders tied it on a power-play goal by Aucoin midway through the second. Alexei Yashin won the faceoff and sent the puck to Janne Niinimaa at the point. Aucoin one-timed the pass from Niinimaa between Hackett's legs just five seconds into the man-advantage for his first goal.
