NEW YORK -- Detroit coach Jeff Blashill liked the way his team bounced back after a tough loss against the defending champions the previous night and a difficult third period in which the Red Wings twice gave up the lead.Danny DeKeyser scored 1:02 into overtime to give Detroit a 4-3 victory over the New York Islanders on Sunday night.Mike Green scored twice and Henrik Zetterberg had a goal and an assist to help the Red Wings improve to 4-1-2 in their last seven games. Detroit was coming off 5-3 loss at Pittsburgh on Saturday in which the Penguins scored four times in the third period to rally.I was happy overall, Blashill said. Obviously you get leads and then you give them up, you dont want to do that. Theyre a good team, too, and theyre going to push as well. I thought our guys stayed with it even after the times we gave up those goals. We had real good bounce-back shifts, I thought. That was real important.Peter Mrazek stopped 32 shots to improve to 3-0-2 in his past five starts.On the winning goal, Thomas Tatar brought the puck into the offensive zone on the right side and sent a pass to DeKeyser in the middle. He fired it past Halak on the blocker side.I jumped up in the play, they had a guy changing and I beat him up the ice, DeKeyser said, and Tats threw it over to me and it went in. It was a good feeling.Anders Lee, Johnny Boychuk and Josh Bailey scored for New York, which had won a season-high three straight. Jaroslav Halak finished with 30 saves.It was a game we really needed the two (points) and take advantage of a team on a tough back-to-back, Islanders captain John Tavares said. Some good things, but still room for improvement and obviously we need the results.Detroits Frans Nielsen had an assist while facing his former team for the first time since leaving the Islanders for a six-year, $31.5 million deal with the Red Wings last summer. The 32-year-old Danish center, selected by the Islanders in the third round of the 2002 draft, had 119 goals and 230 assists over 10 seasons in New York.Zetterberg gave the Red Wings a 3-2 lead with 6:54 remaining, deflecting Jonathan Ericssons point shot past Halak on the goalies glove side for his sixth of the season. The veteran forward leads the Red Wings with 19 points.The Islanders tied it 2:33 after Zetterbergs goal. Dennis Seidenbergs shot was stopped by Mrazek, and as the puck rolled to the right side, Bailey and Tavares both whacked at it, with Bailey getting credit for the goal.The Islanders trailed 2-1 after two periods before Boychuk tied it 1:52 into the third. Casey Cizikas sent the puck toward the net, it rolled around the boards and DeKeyser tried to clear it. But the puck went to Boychuk, who fired it past Mrazek for his fourth of the season and second in three games.Green nearly had a third goal less than 5 minutes later but it was overturned on a challenge by Islanders coach Jack Capuano for goalie interference by Detroit center Luke Glendening.Green gave the Red Wings a 2-1 lead with 5:20 left in the second period, taking a pass from Thomas Vanek and beating Halak in the top right corner. It was Greens sixth of the season and his first multi-goal game since his first career hat trick against Ottawa on Oct. 17.Green credited the win to his teams increased effort after the previous nights loss.We raised the bar a little bit and if we continue to do that, well be good, the veteran defenseman said. We played well. Its just a matter of keeping that compete level up.Lee got the Islanders on the scoreboard first 5:16 into the game on their first shot on goal as he took a centering pass from Cal Clutterbuck and wristed it through a couple of defenders and past Mrazek. It was Lees sixth of the season and fifth in the last six games.Green tied it with 7:07 remaining in the first on a one-timer off a pass from Nielsen.About 2 minutes later, Islanders defenseman Travis Hamonic received 17 minutes of penalties for fighting Detroits Steve Ott. After Tavares was hit in the face by a high stick from the Red Wings Drew Miller, Ott came in and hit Tavares as he backed away and held his face. Hamonic took exception and fought Ott and received instigator, fighting and misconduct penalties.Game notes Nielsens assist was his ninth of the season and it gave him 15 points, second on the team behind Zetterberg. ...

LeBrun: Over the last 48 hours, hes taken in the home-and-home between the Dallas Stars and Colorado Avalanche with Jamie Benn and Matt Duchene being the obvious targets. The Houston Rockets are loading up on shooting for new coach Mike DAntoni.The Rockets agreed to terms on Saturday with forward Ryan Anderson and guard Eric Gordon to add even more scoring punch around James Harden, two people with knowledge of the negotiations told The Associated Press. The people spoke on condition of anonymity because the deals cannot be signed until July 7.Anderson is getting four years and $80 million, while Gordon agreed on a four-year, $53 million contract.The 28-year-old Anderson spent the past four seasons with New Orleans and has been one of the NBAs top 3-point shooters in recent years. He averaged 17 points and six rebounds last season.A first-round pick of the Nets in 2008, Anderson spent his rookie season there before he was traded to Orlando. He spent three seasons with the Magic with his breakout season coming in 2011-12, when he was selected as the NBAs Most Improved Player after leading the league with 166 3-pointers.Gordon has proven to be a potent scorer when healthy, but injuries have derailed him ever since his rookie season in 2008-09. He played 78 games that season with the Clippers, but his most since then was 64 three years ago.Gordon spent the previous five seasons in New Orleans, with the Pelicans hoping he could be the perimeter scorer they needed to take some of the attention away from Anthonyy Davis on the interior.ddddddddddddHe was limited to nine games in 2011-12 by a right knee injury and only played 45 games last year while dealing with a fractured right ring finger.If he can remain healthy, he will give the Rockets an explosive scorer off the bench behind Harden, one of the top scorers in the NBA.Both Gordon and Anderson should fit in nicely with DAntoni, who has always put more emphasis on scoring and offensive flow than on defense. DAntonis Phoenix Suns essentially ushered in the new era of 3-point shooting, and theres no doubt both Gordon and Anderson will have the green light any time the ball is in their hands.The Rockets are even more identifiable as an offensive team now that Dwight Howard has left for a contract with the Atlanta Hawks.General manager Daryl Morey wasnt able to land one of the coveted star free agents he has been searching for when the market opened, so he pivoted quickly to land two of the best shooters available on the second day of transactions.Gordon is a career 38 percent shooter from deep who shot a career best 44.8 percent on 3s two seasons ago.Anderson has shot 37.7 percent for his career.---AP Sports Writer Kristie Rieken in Houston contributed to this report.
