1.   Benoit Hogue, another former Islander, took advantage of the extra space to whip a shot from the dot of the left circle through the pads of Brodeur.

2.   Keeping the icing call while shorthanded would force penalty-killing teams to work the puck out of the defensive zone instead of just whipping any shot out.

3.   Rangers defenseman Brian Leetch failed to clear the puck, and Lacroix gained control and whipped a shot past Richter.

4.   Stu Barnes got the goal for the Sabres, whipping a shot through a crowd to give the Sabres new hope.

5.   Yashin whipped a shot past Joseph for his third goal in four games.

6.   He threaded a neat pass through to Gaitan, who whipped a shot past the keeper, only to see it fall the wrong side of the post.

7.   He whipped both shots over the middle of the Scottish wall and low inside the near post, stranding keeper Stefan Klos in embarrassingly identical style.

8.   Radek Bonk recovered the puck and passed to Hossa, who whipped the shot past Milan Hnilicka, for his team-high seventh goal.

9.   Rookie Jaroslav Svoboda could not get his stick on the puck, but Vasicek did, whipping a shot over goaltender Martin Brodeur.
