New York Islanders and Detroit Red Wings head-to-head record

After five head-to-head games, the Islanders and the Red Wings have split the wins, with each team getting two. The most recent game, in March 2024, went to Detroit 6-3. The offense for Detroit has shown that it can score a lot against New York. In the last three games, they’ve won two and scored at least four goals each time. The Islanders beat the Wings 2-0 in January 2023, though, showing that they can also shut them down. This game might not have many goals because Cam Talbot as well as Alex Lyon have been going well in goal for Detroit lately and Noah Dobson along with Ilya Sorokin are keeping the Islanders’ defence stable. Both teams will depend on their goalies, but Detroit may have the upper hand offensively if Dylan Larkin can keep up his hot streak of goals.
