The Hitmen scored first and, after Charlotte evened the score, drove home five unanswered goals against Martin Brodeur en route to taking a 2-1 series lead with a 6-3 win. Michel Goulet, Tony Tanti, Al McInnis, Busher Jackson, Pierre Larouche and Bobby Orr all tallied for the Hitmen, who got 26 saves from Bill Ranford. Bobby Hull and Radek Dvorek scored twice 14 seconds apart late in the third for Charlotte but it was well too little, too late.
