empty-netter

Pierre Turgeon ended the scoring with a third period empty-netter.

The empty-netter was satisfying but unnecessary because the Hurricanes were not going to overcome a 3-0 deficit against Richter and a defense that killed six power plays.

"I saw them intercept a pass and I figured the only way to stop them from getting an empty-netter was to start an altercation," Chelios said.

The empty-netter proved to be the game-winner, as Buffalo's Mike Grier scored with 19 seconds left in the game to make the final score 5-4 in favor of the Flyers.

Wayne Gretzky's first period goal late in the second period snapped a 1-1 tie, and Dave Hunter added an insurance empty-netter and the Oilers drew even in the series with a 3-1 win.
