FIVE YEARS AGO: Feb. 9, 1994

Well, we're in Montreal, so you guess -- yep, a loss, 4-3 in OT. Glenn Healy gets the game and loses his fifth in his last six decisions. Eric Desjardins wins it in overtime; les Habs score three goals on the power play. Worse, Alexei Kovalev goes a-spearing, nailing Patrice Brisebois in a highly sensitive area below the logo. He receives an automatic two-game suspension for his fourth game misconduct of the season; it's his third suspension of the season. "What can I do?" Coach Mike Keenan tells the media. "I can go to the general manager and ask him to trade him because he's being disloyal to the group and he's hurting the group."
