(SportsNetwork.com) - The Detroit Red Wings and New York Islanders will both try to put rough losses behind them when the Eastern Conference foes meet Saturday afternoon in the Motor City. Detroit hosts todays matinee after having a season-high six-game winning streak snapped with Thursdays 5-1 loss in Tampa Bay. The Red Wings entered the Atlantic Division showdown with a one-point lead over the Lightning for first place, but the Bolts claimed the top spot with the regulation win. Montreal also picked up two points with Thursdays road win over the New York Rangers to forge a tie with Detroit for second place in the Atlantic. The Canadiens, who have two games in hand over the Red Wings, host Washington this afternoon, while Tampa welcomes Columbus on Saturday night. The Red Wings were torched for three goals by the Lightnings Cedric Paquette, who notched his first career hat trick to power Tampa to the easy win. Darren Helm supplied the Red Wings lone goal. Petr Mrazek allowed five goals on 15 shots, while Tom McCollum stopped all 17 shots he faced in the third period. We just had a good run here, won six in a row, Detroit head coach Mike Babcock said. We got spanked here tonight. Red Wings forward Pavel Datsyuk is slated to play in his 863rd career game today, moving him past Ted Lindsay for sole possession of 12th place in Detroit history. The Islanders lost for only the second time in eight games Thursday when they were handed a 5-2 setback by the visiting Boston Bruins. New York fell behind 2-0 in the first period before evening the score on second-period goals from John Tavares and Michael Grabner. However, Bostons Kevan Miller tallied the game-winner with just 3.4 seconds remaining in the middle stanza and the Bruins added to their cushion in the third period. We didnt play a 60-minute game, but I thought we played well enough to win the game, said Islanders coach Jack Capuano. Obviously, the third goal was the turning point. Jaroslav Halak allowed four goals on 32 shots for the Isles, who lead Pittsburgh by only one point for first place in the Metropolitan Division. Halak is expected to start today and is 5-4-1 with a 3.22 goals against average in his career against the Red Wings. He stopped 17-of-18 shots to record the win in a 2-1 regulation victory at Detroit on Dec. 19. The Isles have won two straight and seven of their last eight games against Detroit overall and the Red Wings have dropped five straight at home in this series.

Check out todays trade-related reports and speculation from around the NHL beat. And follow TSN.ca through Deadline Day for all the updates. Kings Ransom With the Los Angeles Kings fighting for a Western Conference playoff berth and just three points up on the wild card zone, is it time for general manager Dean Lombardi to pull the trigger on a deal? The Hockey News looks back at one of Lombardis shrewdest moves - sending Jack Johnson and a first rounder to the Blue Jackets in exchange for Jeff Carter in 2012 – and wonders if the same type of shake-up is available this season. Former Kings Matt Moulson and Mike Cammalleri would work - THN muses - but even a cheaper option like Brad Boyes could also do the trick. Not Going Wild The Minnesota Wild turned heads at the 2013 trade deadline by letting go of prime assets like Johan Larsson, Matt Hackett and a pair of high draft picks for then-Sabres captain Jason Pominville. So, naturally, surrendering all those future assets would naturally take them out of the running to add a major piece this year, right? Not necesssarily so, says Wild GM Chuck Fletcher.dddddddddddd He told the Minneapolis Star-Tribune that he intends to be more cautious this deadline, but that he wont say no to the right deal. "In a perfect world, I dont want to trade first-round picks in consecutive years," Fletcher told the Star-Trib. "If opportunities come up, sometimes you have to do things, and this first round isnt as deep and our scouts always seem to deliver no matter what picks I leave them with. But it would have to be something pretty special. Id like our guys to have a first-rounder this year." Blue Line Bolts Thanks to injuries on the blue line including Mattias Ohlund and Brian Lee, the Tampa Bay Lightning find themselves with a defence budget to work with ahead of the deadline. With about $3 million in available cap space, the Tampa Bay Times envisions the Bolts looking for a blue line stalwart to help the likes of Victor Hedman and Mark Barberio. The Islanders Andrew MacDonald and Detroits Kyle Quincey headline the Times wishlist. MacDonald averages the seventh-highest ice-time in the league while Quincey - a more expensive rental option would be a more stay-at-home pick-up. ' ' '
