FIVE YEARS AGO: March 16, 1994

With Mike Hudson and Sergei Nemchinov on the NHL's suspended list (both suspensions -- Hudson gets 10 games; Nemchinov, eight -- became official today), Alexei Kovalev is moved to center. Probably not coincidentally, Alex's 11-game scoring streak (10-5-15) begins in a 4-0 win over Hartford. Mattias Norstrom gets his first NHL point, an assist on Steve Larmer's first goal. It's Mike Richter's fourth shutout.
