NEW YORK -- The New York Islanders are suddenly playing with confidence, and that may help them escape from the bottom of the Eastern Conference. Broncos Official Jerseys .The Islanders will try to extend their longest winning streak of the season to four games Sunday night when they face Frans Nielsen and the Detroit Red Wings for the first time this season.New York (9-10-4) opens a three-game homestand looking for its fifth win in eight games versus Detroit. The Islanders went 1-2-0 against the Red Wings in 2015-16 with the only win coming Feb. 15 in Brooklyn. Brock Nelson opened the scoring in a three-goal second period and Thomas Greiss stopped 28 shots in the 4-1 victory.During the Islanders current streak, Griess has turned away 56 of 60 shots en route to wins over the Calgary Flames and Pittsburgh Penguins. But Jaroslav Halak delivered his finest performance of the season on Thursday, making 38 saves for his first shutout of the season and 40th of his career in a 3-0 win against the Washington Capitals.To be able to string three in a row together -- especially with back-to-back against two of the best teams in the league -- is huge for us, said Shane Prince, who had the game-winner against the Capitals. Weve got to build off it and keep going.The Islanders may have a better chance of achieving that with Griess starting over Halak.In his last three starts against Detroit, Halak has struggled, posting a 1-2 record with a 4.40 goals-against-average and .825 save percentage. Greiss has made two starts among three career appearances versus the Red Wings, and has a 2.31 GAA and .913 save percentage.The Islanders, last in the Metropolitan Division as well as in the East, are still struggling to generate offense as they have been held to three goals or less 19 times, including 10 games at the Barclays Center (3-4-3).Facing Detroit may be what John Tavares needs to snap out of a season-long slump. Tavares has a goal and five assists in a four-game points streak versus the Red Wings, and is averaging better than a point per game in his career against them (12 games, four goals, 11 assists).Tavares, who has averaged 29.5 goals per season coming into 2016-17, has just six in 23 games to tie Nelson for the team lead.As for Nielsen, he played 606 games over 10 seasons with the Islanders, totaling 119 goals and 230 assists. Nielsen told Newsday that he expects to be nervous at first when facing the team that selected him in the third round in 2002 NHL Draft.After a couple of shifts, it should be okay, he said. I still have a lot of friends over there and I want to see them do well. Hopefully well both be where we want to be by the end of the season.Needing a replacement for longtime star Pavel Datsyuk, who returned to Russia, the Red Wings signed Nielsen to a six-year, $31.5 million contract in July. A native of Denmark, Nielsens best season came in 2013-14 when he set career highs with 25 goals and 33 assists in 80 games.A two-time 20-goal scorer, Nielsen scored his third goal in five games and sixth of the season Saturday, but Detroit (11-11-3) squandered a two-goal lead after two periods and fell 5-3 to the Penguins.One thing I always took pride in when I was in New York was my consistency, being able to do that same things every night on the ice, Nielsen told Newsday. Thats been a little too up and down here. Maybe its from overthinking a bit, getting used to a new style of play.With Jimmy Howard day-to-day with a groin injury and Jarred Correau having lost his NHL debut Saturday, the Red Wings are likely to go with Petr Mrazek in goal.Mrazek is 6-5-3 with a 2.83 GAA and .907 save percentage. One of his career-high 27 wins last season came in Brooklyn, where he stopped 27 shots in a 4-2 win on Jan. 25.Authentic Broncos Jerseys . Louis Blues.

NEW YORK -- In the borough where Tim Tebow one day hopes to play Major League Baseball, the former NFL quarterback visited the NYPDs 105th Precinct in Queens Village on Tuesday.While in New York to promote his memoir, Shaken, Tebow stopped by the precinct to let the assembled officers know he appreciated their contribution. That department lost officer Brian Moore in May 2015, and the New York Mets have maintained a close relationship with that group since the tragic slaying.Tebow signed a minor league contract with the Mets in September.Its very meaningful to be able to give back, but honestly just to say thank you and try to encourage all of them that what they do really matters, Tebow said. It matters to me, and theyre making a difference. What theyre doing is significant. Sometimes it can be a thankless job. We just wanted to take this time to say thank you. ... Its great to be able to come in here and try to encourage them. But, at the same time, theyre such an encouragement to me with just what they do every single day.Said NYPD Lt. Robert Maguire: Its really nice to see people come down that really appreciate us, that care about what we do every day. You see that all the time. ... When were out on patrol, we hear it all day long, we see it all day long from a lot of people. Broncos Jerseys Store. Theres a lot of support in New York. With Tim Tebow coming down and the Mets coming down -- the Mets are great supporters of us -- it gives us a good feeling.After resuming his baseball career for the first time since his junior year of high school, the 29-year-old Tebow hit .194 (12-for-62) in the recently completed Arizona Fall League. He produced three doubles, two RBIs and eight walks while striking out 20 times. He stole one base in three attempts and had a .296 on-base percentage and .242 slugging percentage.The Mets have not announced whether Tebow will be invited to major league camp for spring training. It may be more sensible for him to attend minor league camp and be borrowed for occasional Grapefruit League games.Tebow will sporadically work with Mets hitting coach Kevin Long the remainder of the offseason in Phoenix.I felt like I continued to get better the entire time and I finished off on a good note and have been training pretty hard, Tebow said. I feel like Im still improving every day.
