How's that for a response game.
Twenty-four hours after a tough loss at Madison Square Garden, the New York Islanders came back with their biggest offensive output of the season, torching the Detroit Red Wings 8-2 on Tuesday night at Nassau Coliseum.
The Islanders scored a season-high eight goals in the win, taking out Monday's frustrations on a struggling Red Wings team who happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time on Tuesday. The eight goals were the most the Isles have scored under Barry Trotz and first time since Feb. 7, 2016.
