Two goal leads

The Bruins had an interesting note in their media notes for Monday's game:
<<- In 12 of their 19 games this season, either the Bruins or their opponent has held a two-or-more goal lead at some point in the game ...The Bruins have a 5-0-0 record in games this season in which they have held a two-or-more goal lead, including when scoring the first two-or-more goals of a game ... They are 1-4-0 in games this season in which they have given up the first two-or-more goals and they are 2-5-0 in games in which they have trailed by two-or-more goals in the contest.>>

I checked out the Islander numbers for the same stats.

In 16 of their 20 games, either the Isles or their opponent has held a two-or-more goal lead at some point in the game...
The Isles have had a two-goal lead in 10 of their first 20 games, but have won only six of them [6-0-4].  They have trailed by two goals in seven games, and have gone 0-6-1.  Saturday's SO loss in Florida was the first time that the Isles have earned a point in a game they trailed by two goals this season and the first time that they have led by two goals and trailed by two goals in the same game.
