FIVE YEARS AGO: March 29, 1994

In a 4-3 win at Philadelphia, Alexei Kovalev scores two goals, the first and last of the game. The game-winner, with assists from linemates Steve Larmer and Stephane Matteau, comes with just 36.7 seconds left. By the weekend, the Islanders will have caught the Flyers for ninth in the conference; tonight, the Isles tie Washington 2-2 to move within two points of the Flyers and five of Florida.

Meanwhile, the Devils win 5-2 against Montreal, keeping pace with the Rangers atop the overall standings with 101 points apiece.
