Red Wings 5, Islanders 4: Last-minute double-tip ends Isles point streak

The New York Islanders’ seven-game points streak came to an end in Detroit thanks to a double-deflection with 28 seconds remaining in regulation, handing the Red Wings a 5-4 win.

After the Isles tied it at 4-4 with 2:26 left on a fluke bounce for Jason Chimera in his 1,000th game. But an offensive faceoff win for the Wings freed Danny Dekeyser for a point shot, which deflected off Nick Leddy to head wide...until it deflected off Thomas Hickey to head into the net behind Thomas Greiss.
