 Islanders 2, Red Wings 1
Centers Brock Nelson and Anders Lee each had a goal and an assist to
lead the New York Islanders to a road win over the suddenly slumping
Detroit Red Wings.
Center Henrik Zetterberg scored for Detroit, which lost its fifth
straight (0-2-3). Goaltender Jimmy Howard made eight saves on nine
shots in the first period before being replaced by Petr Mrazek to
start the second period due to a lower-body injury.
The Red Wings twice barely missed tying the game in the third
period. Right wing Gustav Nyquist hit the goal post, while a
Zetterberg shot grazed the post.

Devils 3, Lightning 2 (SO)
Rookie goaltender Keith Kinkaid stopped 26 shots and then made three
big saves in the shootout to earn his first career victory as the
New Jersey Devils edged the Tampa Bay Lightning.
New Jersey center Patrik Elias snapped out of a deep scoring slump
with a pretty spinning backhanded goal and then scored a huge goal
in the shootout to help lead his club to the victory over the
first-place Lightning as the Devils halted a five-game winless
streak.

November.

Defenseman Trevor Daley scored the game-winning goal midway through
the second period as the Dallas Stars won their third in a row and

worst losing streak for the franchise in 40 seasons.
