At midseason, the average of 5.3 goals per game matched last season’s production, lowest in more than 40 years. The NHL was so concerned about the declining goal production it instituted new rules this season to spark more scoring. The neutral zone was short ened, the offensive zone was lengthened, and there was more space behind the goal line to allow skill players to operate with more freedom. Because of an emphasis on defense and some of the best goaltending in the history of the league, the new rules did not have much of an effect. That is not the case in All-Star games, of course. And Gretzky has had something to do with that as the greatest scorer in All-Star history. Gretzky, a last-minute replace ment for Philadelphia’s Eric Lin- dros at center, had a goal and two assists. His goal extended his All- Star record to 13 in 18 games and his two assists gave him 12, tying him with four other players for the all-time mark.

Watkins said the Aggies will try to use their first conference road victory in nearly four years as a building block. “It’s been a long time since A&M has won a conference road game,” he said. “And that’s something that’s got to change, so hopefully, today’s the begin ning.” Shot Continued from Page 7 stitches after being hit in the nose while diving for a loose ball.
