Howe Records First OT Goal In 28 Years

HOUSTON— The Houston Aeros bounced back from a 4-1 setback at Quebec to win three in a row and Gordie Howe found something he had never done before. After 28 seasons and 2,012 games in major league hockey, all-time great Howe scored the first overtime goal of his pro career. “I almost had to laugh when it went in,” said Howe. “That’s probably the only thing I haven’t done in 28 years.”. If it wasn’t for son Mark, though, the game never would have reached overtime for the 7-6 victory over the Toronto Toros at Toronto. Mark scored a hat trick and Andre Hinse his 30th and 31st.

Philly’s Stephenson Ranks As ‘Most Winningest’ Goaler

MONTREAL— Just as Montreal Canadiens and Philadelphia Flyers are waging a battle for the most points in the standings to determine the home-ice advantage in the Stanley Cup playoffs, their two number one goaltenders are scrambling to see which will emerge with the most points on a personal basis. At this time, Philly’s Wayne Stephenson has a four pointedge over Ken Dryden of Montreal, 86 to 82, in the number of points contributed to the team while they were in the nets. Each goaler has 37 victories thus far this campaign, but Stephenson, who has made more appearances than Dryden, has picked up a dozen ties, compared to eight for Dryden to establish his four-point lead. Boston’s Gilles Gilbert is the only other goaltender in the league to have secured 30 victories and ranks…
