The Flyers came out cold and paid for it as their winning ways over the Islanders came to an end Thursday night.
Evgeni Nabokov made 40 saves and the Isles snapped a 13-game losing streak in Philadelphia with a 4-1 victory over the Flyers.
Josh Bailey, Matt Moulson, Mark Streit and Michael Grabner scored to help the Islanders also break an eight-game losing streak against Philadelphia, which had won 23 of its previous 24 games against the Islanders.
The victory was the Islanders' third in their last four games, and it marked the first time New York won in Philadelphia since April 7, 2007, a 4-2 victory.
Matt Read scored in the third period for Philadelphia.
The Islanders outplayed Philadelphia throughout most of the game, beating the Flyers to loose pucks and using smart passing that created three breakaway opportunities. One came short-handed, when Bailey took a loose puck at mid-ice and came barreling in on goalie Sergei Bobrovsky.
Bailey's fourth goal of the season came on a nifty move by coaxing Bobrovsky forward, then lifting a backhander over the goalie's left shoulder to give New York a 2-0 at 12:58 into the second period.
