Starting goaltenders Craig Anderson and Thomas Greiss both failed to make it out of the second period in a game between the Senators and Islanders that was reminiscent of 1980s hockey Friday night in Brooklyn.

Anderson was pulled in favor of backup Mike Condon after a Jason Chimera breakaway goal gave the Isles a 5-4 lead just 8:40 into the second frame. About three minutes later, Greiss was yanked for Jaroslav Halak after Mike Hoffman scored to even the game at five apiece.

While scoring is indeed up throughout the league, 5-5 games midway through the second period are still exceptionally rare, but the fans certainly won't complain.
