SECOND HALF THREE-ON-THREE
5:00: Carter-Toffoli-Martinez vs Kopitar-Kovalchuk-Doughty.
4:31: Doughty a little too intent on trying to poke a loose puck past Budaj, so Martinez bowls him over. They smile.
4:03: BLAKE GOAL. Perfectly placed diagonal feed from Phaneuf to a net-crashing Kempe redirected past Budak. Slick goal.
1:32: ROBITAILLE GOAL. Etem for the hat trick. He buried a Martinez feed moments after Martinez had ended Kopitar’s breakaway bid with a good backcheck. 4-4.

SECOND HALF
20:00: Goalies are Peter Budaj for BLAKE and Cal Petersen for ROBITAILLE.
17:00: BLAKE GOAL. JAD goal! We were walking up from the press conference with David Andrews and Darren Abbott downstairs and missed it.
