Evgeni Nabokov allowed four goals to the Ducks in the Islanders' 5-3 loss Saturday night. The veteran netminder made 26 saves. But it's another night, another blown third-period lead for the Islanders, who were up 3-1 entering the final frame. Newsday's Arthur Staple says it's the team's 10th blown third-period lead on the season. Nabokov has a 3.09 goals-against average and .897 save percentage.
