Patrik Sundstrom sets a Stanley Cup record for points in one game with three goals and five assists (eight points), leading the New Jersey Devils to a 10-4 rout of the Washington Capitals in a Patrick Division final-round game at the Meadowlands. (Wayne Gretzky held the old mark of seven points in one playoff game, a figure he achieved three times.) The one-sided score leads to a Cup record 62 penalties called by referee Denis Morel, topping the previous mark of 59 established by the Rangers and Kings in 1981. Mark Johnson adds four goals for New Jersey, three on the power play, and is almost an afterthought in the postgame summaries. The Devils will win this series in seven games but bow in the next round to Boston.
