FIVE YEARS AGO: March 13, 1994

They've been pretty clearly the best two teams in the conference for most of the year, and now the Devils are about to give the Rangers all they can handle down the stretch. A 4-0 Devils win over Dallas brings New Jersey within four points of the Rangers in the race for the Division, Conference, and overall points lead.

Meanwhile, a trade rumor from the Petr Nedved soap opera: if Vancouver is awarded Brendan Shanahan as compensation for the Blues' signing of Nedved, then Shanahan would be wheeled to the Rangers for Tony Amonte and Sergei Zubov.
