Detroit — Again, a return to Little Caesars Arena proved to be the cure the Red Wings needed to right all their ills.
Returning home with a three-game losing streak — including two lackluster losses in St. Louis and Colorado — the Wings looked like a different team Tuesday while defeating the New York Islanders, 2-1.
The Wings played a much better defensive game than was evident on the road, and looked like a confident team while back on home ice.
Dylan Larkin scored a power -play goal in the second period, Michael Rasmussen added one in the third period, and goaltender Alex Nedeljkovic stopped 33 shots including a glove save on Jean-Gabriel Pageau as time expired, as the Wings (14-12-3) continued their dominance at LCA.
