FIVE YEARS AGO: March 20, 1994

Brian Mullen, attempting to come back from an off-season stroke, suffers a seizure during an Islanders practice session. One-third of the link in Great Ranger Lines between Erixon-Poddubny-Sandstrom and Graves-Messier-Amonte, Mullen is shut down for the season, and sadly will never play again in the NHL.

Meanwhile, with the trading deadline a day away, the rumor mill heats up. Detroit is rumored looking for a big-time goalie, with big young'n Keith Primeau requested in return by pretty much every potential trading partner. On the Rangers side, there is a pretty good chance that Keenan doghousers Tony Amonte and Mike Gartner (and a couple others) will be elsewhere by tomorrow afternoon; the big question is what the Rangers will be able to get for them.
