There were more games in the NHL on Tuesday night than the Islanders conceded shots in theirs, but that didn’t matter because the Isles were shut out for the second time in three games and the third time in this young season.
They largely had the better of tight play against the visiting Red Wings, but Detroit made their first shot of the game — one of 10 total — stand up to hand the Isles a 1-0 loss on Long Island.
The Islanders tied a team record in conceding only 10 shots, while Alex Lyon stopped 29 at the other end.
