Detroit — In a season without too many Red Wings' bright spots, truly there is one.
Andreas Athanasiou continues to emerge as one of the pieces the Wings can build around with a measure of confidence.
Athanasiou continued a fine season Saturday with two goals in leading the Wings to a 2-1 victory over the New York Islanders at Little Caesars Arena.
The two goals gave Athanasiou 26, one shy of Dylan Larkin — who returned to the lineup after missing five games with a neck strain — for the team lead.
