DETROIT— The Islanders have done a lot more winning than losing this season yet not everything seemed complete.
Top wings Anders Lee and Jordan Eberle were struggling to score.
That narrative could fade to the background after Monday night’s 4-1 win over the hapless Red Wings at Little Caesars Arena. Eberle scored his first two goals of the season and Lee now has a two-game goal streak.
So, it’s a two-game winning streak for the Islanders (18-5-2), who conclude this two-game road trip on Tuesday night at Montreal. The Canadiens are in an 0-5-3 slump.
The Red Wings (7-20-3) have lost eight straight in regulation — after having a seven-game regulation losing streak earlier this season —and are in an 0-8-2 skid overall.
