Summary:"I guess when you're sitting out there watching and the shot clock isn't moving, it can get to you," said Randy Wood of the team's unflattering five-shot output in the first and second periods. "In the second period we didn't even get a shot until the last five minutes, and that's not good. When you can't even get a shot, much less a goal, you get frustrated as a team. But wins are too precious; we can't be tanking games." "There's not much good that you can say about this game," growled [Al Arbour]. "Certainly we got what we deserved. One guy looked like a player out there, and that was [Glenn Healy], our goaltender." Defensive Lapse As Craig Ludwig lost the puck in the process of tangling with Neal Broten at the Islander blue line, Stewart Gavin and Doug Smail dashed in unchecked, each to his respective circle, each poised to score. When Healy squared off against Gavin and the puck in the left circle, Gavin quickly sent the puck across the slot to Smail, who aimed, fired, and connected from the right circle at 12 minutes 46 seconds.
