nine games of the decade have av
eraged 16.5 goals — a direct con
trast to the regular season which
has produced a steady decline
through the decade.
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.

“It feels good winning like this, getting
the monkey off our back,” he said.

their first conference road victory in nearly
four years as a building block.

won a conference road game,” he said.
