Dylan Larkin and Lucas Raymond scored the tying and game-winning goals less than three minutes apart in the third period Monday night for the visiting Detroit Red Wings, who once again came back to beat the New York Islanders 4-2 in Elmont, N.Y.

Simon Edvinsson added an empty-netter with 2.4 seconds left for the Red Wings, who won for just the third time in nine games overall (3-5-1) while completing a three-game season sweep of the Islanders. Detroit scored just seven goals on 63 shots in the trio of victories.

It was the second third-period comeback win against the Islanders in the last five days for the Red Wings, who scored twice in the final 4:46 of a 2-1 victory in Detroit last Thursday.

Moritz Seider scored in the first period Monday night for the Red Wings. Goalie Alex Lyon made 27 saves.

Anders Lee scored in the first period and Kyle Palmieri scored in the second for the Islanders, who have lost four of five (1-3-1) while blowing third-period leads in all four losses. Goalie Semyon Varlamov recorded 17 saves.

Lee capped a furious sequence in the Red Wings' zone by scoring 4:35 into the game. Lyon lost his stick while stopping a shot by Jean-Gabriel Pageau and couldn't retrieve it during the subsequent flurry, which ended with Lee firing a shot under his stick arm.

Seider tied the game a little under nine minutes later. Andrew Copp, stationed behind the net, passed to Seider, whose beat Varlamov stick side as the goalie was screened by teammate Brock Nelson as well as Red Wings center Joe Veleno with 6:35 left.

Palmieri put the Islanders ahead at the 7:42 mark of the second. Rookie Isaiah George's shot glanced off Nelson's stick and to Palmieri, who tucked a shot into the wide open corner of the net as Lyon was stuck leaning toward Nelson.

Larkin began the comeback with 8:40 left. With his back to Varlamov, Larkin turned and steered a shot around George that went under the goalie's blocker.

Detroit pulled ahead when Raymond, battling for position with Islanders defenseman Scott Mayfield, redirected Edvinsson's shot from just inside the blue line with 6:07 remaining. Varlamov was pulled with 2:49 left and New York peppered Lyon with six shots before Edvinsson iced the victory.
