Game notes: If there’s a team that would like to turn back the clock — not necessarily to the franchise’s golden years of four Stanley Cups in the 1980s, but even to the 2020-21 season, or just the end of 2022 — it’s the Islanders. They looked poised to return to the playoffs in their first season under coach Lane Lambert — Stevie Y’s old roommate in Detroit, and the Wings’ second-round pick in the 1983 draft they nabbed Yzerman in the first — but have just two wins since the calendar flipped to 2023.
