NEW YORK -- If the Detroit Red Wings make a 25th straight playoff appearance this spring, perhaps they can vote a postseason share to winter storm Jonas.
Left winger Justin Abdelkader and defenseman Danny DeKeyser scored 71 seconds apart in the second period Monday night as the Red Wings took advantage of their unusual status as a better-rested road team by beating the New York Islanders, 4-2, at Barclays Center.
The victory capped a whirlwind trip to Brooklyn for the Red Wings, who didn't get to their hotel until after 2 AM Monday morning following a long bus trip in from an airport on Long Island.
