Detroit can't wait for the season to be over so it can concentrate on the NHL Draft, although the Red Wings come off a rare win in beating Montreal 4-3 on Tuesday. The Red Wings scored three times in the third period and Jonathan Bernier had 19 saves. Don't expect a two-game winning streak though as the Islanders have won six of the last seven meetings, including both this season by a combined score of 12-3. New York goalie Semyon Varlamov is 17-12-3-1 with a 2.55 goals-against average and .918 save percentage and he has the clear advantage over his probable counterpart Jimmy Howard, who owns a ghastly 4.08 GAA and .886 save percentage. Detroit is 13-43 over its last 56 road games and 19-52 versus the Eastern Conference. Take the Islanders for a Max Play tonight.
