Jean-Gabriel Pageau won a faceoff to set up Clutterbuck's impressive short-handed goal just 2:45 into the first.

Red Wings center Michael Rasmussen won a faceoff in the Islanders' zone to set up Hronek's tying goal fewer than three minutes later. Detroit's Carter Rowney wrested control of the puck from Anthony Beauvillier to set up Gagner's go-ahead tally a mere 2:19 later.

Wahlstrom scored his first power play goal 10:49 into the second, when there were five players lined up in front of Nedeljkovic before the Islanders' right winger fired a shot that went beyond the goalie's stick.

Smith batted down Scott Mayfield's pass and skated up the left side of the ice before scoring the unassisted goal with 6:41 left in the period.

Wahlstrom scored again on the power play with 7:27 left in regulation, when he took a pass from Mathew Barzal and fired a shot under Nedeljkovic's stick.
