Bunus Stat Trick: Isles 4, Leafs 3 (OT)

1.The Isles scored three goals in the first period. It was their second multi-goal first period of the season and their first since opening night. The Isles hadn't scored two goals in any first period at home this season -- the list time they did that at home was on March 10 against the Caps. The Isles have scored only 16 first period goals this season (6 of those in two games); every other NHL team has managed at least 20 first period goals.

2.The Isles impoved to 5-2 in OT/SO (4-1 in OT and 5-2 in SO). Only Edmonton (10-3) and Atlanta (8-1) have better records than the Isles. Pittsburgh is also 5-2.

3. After going pointless through (US) Thanksgiving, Hilbert has 4 goals and 4 assists in the last 16 games.
