Second Period: Isles 1, Ducks 1

Highlights/observations:

• Bobby Ryan breaks the tie at 14:18, and former Isle Jason Blake earned the second assist on that goal.
• Two minutes later, Matt Martin pokes in a slow-moving puck on the goal line for his second in two games, tying the score. Mark Eaton and Michael Grabner have the assists.
• Both goaltenders were much busier in this period; Nabokov particularly had to make some key saves.
• During his intermission interview, Martin said, "I want to produce more offensively." And tonight's goal marks 5 on the season for him, tying his NHL career-high.
• Faceoffs are still shoddy, but have improved- Tavares now at 36%, Bailey at 58%.
• Ducks lead the Isles in hits, 24-18.
