Pavel Datsyuk sniped two goals for Detroit, which lost 5-4 via the shootout to the Islanders on Saturday night. Datsyuk had the game-tying goal for Detroit with 43 seconds left in regulation. There is a theme with these ageless veterans: hockey IQ. Datsyuk, now 35, certainly still has the slickest hands in hockey but there's a reason he can put them to use so well. Like Jaromir Jagr, Datsyuk is on another planet in terms of how well he thinks the game. He now has 11 goals and 22 points this season. Darren Helm had a goal and an assist, and Johan Franzen notched the other goal.
