Sloppy Islanders put up a fight but fall late in tough loss to Red Wings

DETROIT — The Islanders have played bend-don’t-break hockey since Bo Horvat went down with an injury. They finally broke in the third period Tuesday, ceding a one-goal lead they’d hung onto for most of the night by the skin of their teeth and losing a 3-2 decision to the Red Wings on Alex DeBrincat’s late power-play winner. Their play was ugly, they didn’t generate much offense, they relied on Ilya Sorokin to a dangerous level.
