Saturday night hockey in the Motor City — the Red Wings came in taking three points from two of the NHL’s top teams. The New York Islanders came into Saturday night’s tilt losing two games straight. The big news heading into the game is that goaltender Jonathan Bernier would be making a back-to-back start for the first time this season.
What started off as a somewhat boring first period quickly turned to exciting. It started with the first goal of the game, which came off the stick of Justin Abdelkader.
