The Times also had this blurb - Goaltender Jussi Markenen, who finished with 19 saves, had scoring support from Bobby Holik, with a short-handed goal, and Anson Carter, with a power-play goal, both in the first period.

(Lindros) has got good timing, he's not going to put his face in front of a shot. That's part of being on the team.''
