Islanders beat their old goalie Thomas Greiss in defeat of Red Wings

It was an unpleasant homecoming for Red Wings goalie Thomas Greiss, facing the Islanders for the first time since leaving free agency.

His counterpart Ilya Sorokin made 37 saves and Brock Nelson scored twice, leaving him one shy of his first 30-goal season, as the Islanders won, 5-2, on Thursday night at UBS Arena.

The Islanders (28-25-9), who have won two straight and are on a 7-1-1 run, moved within 15 points of the Eastern Conference’s final playoff spot.
