Clayton Thomas, who's been hitting the twine all season long for the Blues, added a pair of goals while Joe Martin claimed a goal and an assist. Eric Hendricks finished the night with three assists while Thom Minard picked up two helpers. Cary Goodman, Mike Cozens, Ryan MacKenzie, Ken Anderson and Eric Kositsin were each credited with one assist.

Joey Mason led the Canucks with a pair of goals while Kirk Gale tacked on a goal and an assist. Randy Merkel netted a pair of assists while Jay Glass and Frank Aucoin each had one helper.
