FIVE YEARS AGO: March 5, 1994

Though the Rangers won one out of two games of the 1990 Patrick Division Semifinals on Long Island, the mass media creates much mass hysteria about the Rangers' long regular-season winless streak (0-12-3 in 15) at Nassau Coliseum.

That changes today.

The Rangers win 5-4, the first non-playoff win on the Hempstead Turnpike since Oct. 28, 1989. Sergei Zubov nets the game-winner, and Adam Graves has two goals and an assist.

The exorcism continues.
