FIVE YEARS AGO: March 11
Mattias Norstrom is recalled from Binghamton for the first time since
October 1993. Meanwhile, the Hockey News names future Ranger property
16-year-old Alexei Vasiljev (now usually transliterated Vasiliev) one of
the top 16-and-under prospects in hockey. After missing the whole 1997-98
season following surgery on both shoulders, Vasiliev will be recalled from
the Hartford Wolf Pack for the first regular-season time on March 9, 1999.
