DETROIT – That the Islanders need more goal production is not in debate.
So, on the one hand, scoring at least three goals for the first time in more than a month should represent some progress.
But none came with the Islanders skating five-on-five. And, in the end, it resulted in another loss.
Defenseman Moritz Seider’s bullet of a one-timer from low in the left circle at 3:33 of overtime gave the Red Wings a 4-3 victory on Saturday night at Little Caesars Arena, pushing the Islanders losing streak to an imperfect 10 (0-8-2).
The last-place Islanders (5-10-4), who did earn a point for the second time in three games, got two power-play goals from Oliver Wahlstrom and a shorthanded goal from Cal Clutterbuck.
