Jekyll & Hyde-landers

Isles have scored only SEVEN first period goals -- tied with Carolina and Minnesota for fewest in NHL.
Isles have scored 26 second period goals -- most in NHL; Chicago, Ottawa and Montreal are tied for 2nd with 21.
Isles have scored 19 third period goals -- seventh in NHL

Only Tampa (46) has scored more 2nd/3rd period goals (combined) than Isles.

Isles have allowed 15 first period goals and 17 second period goals (both are middle of the pack,  T-10 and T-11  highest respectively) but have allowed NHL-high 27 goals in third period (two more than Winnipeg).
