Alex DeBrincat scored two power-play goals, including the game winner with 2:17 left, to lead the host Detroit Red Wings to a 3-2 come-from-behind win over the New York Islanders on Tuesday night.
Defenseman Axel Sandin-Pellikka got the other goal for the Red Wings, who are 6-1-1 in their last eight games. Lucas Raymond assisted on all three goals, defenseman Moritz Seider had two assists and John Gibson stopped 16 shots.
Emil Heineman and Scott Mayfield scored for the Islanders, who had their three-game winning streak snapped. Ilya Sorokin made 18 saves.
With Mayfield off for tripping, DeBrincat picked up the rebound of his original shot that had been blocked and fired it in from the left circle to break a 2-2 tie. It was his 20th goal.
DeBrincat has four goals and an assist in his last two games and 13 points (eight goals, five assists) in eight games this month.
Mayfield had tied it 2-2 with 8:34 left as he skated into the slot from the left wing just inside the blue line and beat Gibson for his first goal of the season.
Detroit scored twice in less than two minutes early in the third period to take a 2-1 lead.
Sandin-Pellikka tied the game 2:03 into the third period. Off a faceoff, he carried the puck from the right point down the boards, cut to the net and beat Sorokin from the bottom of the right circle.
DeBrincat's first power-play goal at 3:55 gave the Red Wings a 2-1 lead.
Heineman made it 1-0 New York 4:27 into the game when he scored on a one-timer from the high slot area off the rush. It was Heineman's career-high 11th goal in his 100th game.
Though the shots were 8-7 in favor of the Red Wings in the first period, Detroit was held without one until the 8:27 mark when Sorokin denied DeBrincat from the right circle on the rush.
Detroit's Patrick Kane did not play because of an upper-body injury.
New York's Bo Horvat missed his second game with a lower-body injury.
