New York Islanders over Detroit Red Wings 1st 60 Minutes ONLY: NYI after a slow start have won 3 in a row. Questionable what the ceiling is so far for this team. However they have just beat Pitts and Wash they take a step down tonight. Det depth is being severely challenged by a plethora of injuries. Now with an early start time they will be playing their 4th game in 6 nights. They played their hearts out last night in Pitts. Det had a 3-1 lead heading into the 3rd and went on to lose 5-3 running out of gas. Tough to see them competing against a now confident rested NYI team at home.
