Detroit’s six-game win streak snapped by Islanders

Mathew Barzal had a tiebreaking goal with 6:02 left in the third period and Brock Nelson scored twice, lifting the New York Islanders to a 5-3 victory Thursday night that ended the Detroit Red Wings’ sixgame winning streak.

Barzal sent a shot behind goaltender Alex Lyon and banked it into the net. Patrick Kane had a chance to pull the Red Wings into a third tie later in the third, but sent a shot wide of an open net.

Detroit pulled Lyon to add an extra skater and Pierre Engvall took advantage, sealing the victory with an empty-net goal — the Islanders’ first of the season — in the final minute.

Casey Cizikas scored in the first period and Nelson’s second goal broke a tie early in the third period. Ilya Sorokin finished with 23 saves for the Islanders.

Olli Maatta matched a career high with two goals, the first coming on a onetimer early in the second period. Kane tied it at 2 on a slick wrist shot 10 seconds into the third.

The Islanders had a power play early in the third and Nelson made the most of it, sending a wrist shot over Lyon’s left shoulder and glove to put them back ahead for his team-leading 27th goal.

Maatta scored again midway through the third to tie it at 3.

Lyon stopped 22 shots for the Red Wings, who lost for the first time in two-plus weeks.
