DETROIT — Anders Lee scored his 40th goal of the season to become the first Islander to reach that milestone since Jason Blake in 2006-07, Mathew Barzal had two assists to tie Bryan Trottier’s franchise record for rookies with 63 and John Tavares, in what might have been his final play with the team, scored the winner at 3:16 of overtime in a 4-3 victory over the Red Wings on Saturday night at Little Caesars Arena.
Lee lifted a backhander over goalie Jared Coreau (36 saves) at 6:25 of the third period to bring the Islanders within 3-2.
