FIVE YEARS AGO: April 2, 1994
In Sergei Nemchinov's return from suspension, it's Devils Wipeout Day at
the Meadowlands as the Rangers win 4-2. The Devils take a 2-0 lead, but the
Rangers come back with four in the second: Brian Leetch, Stephane Matteau,
Alexei Kovalev, and, with three seconds left, Craig MacTavish off of a
miscommunication between Marty Brodeur and Tommy Albelin in front of the
Devils' net. The play would have been icing, but Brodeur played it, and
then looked to Albelin to clear it. Albelin didn't have a chance, as
MacTavish pounced to score his 200th NHL goal.
In one month and 23 days, though events would transpire a little
differently, you may wish to draw a couple of parallels.
