The New York Islanders looked to continue to ride the UBS Arena momentum Monday against the Detroit Red Wings after defeating the St. Louis Blues Saturday on home ice.Instead, the Isles reverted to some old bad habits and gave up a third-period lead again to fall to Detroit 4-2 in another Long Island heartbreaker.

This time, the Islanders held onto - and extended - a third-period lead. Brock Nelson had three points, moving him into a tie for ninth with John Tonelli on the team's all-time list.

Red Wings forward Christian Fischer blocked Noah Dobson’s slap shot while the Islanders had an extra attacker on the ice in the final minute as Detroit protected its 3-2 lead. The Islanders pulled their goalie for the extra attacker for the final three minutes but failed to score.
