The last time the New York Islanders played the Detroit Red Wings there were 38 penalty minutes given. Would this be a repeat?
Both teams were tied on points coming into the game with 32. A win wouldn’t push either team into the playoffs, but they’d at least jump to the top of the rest.
Maybe with the possible penalty fest the Islanders could find a way to cure their power play?
Again, the New York Islanders let up the first goal of the game. Cal Clutterbuck takes a terrible penalty for interfering with Justin Abdelkader‘s stick and the Red Wings score a power play goal just seconds later.
