Western Conference Semifinal Game 3
vs
Owen Nolan scored his third goal of the series, Jari Kurri tallied as well and Sean Burke faced all 16 shots he faced as Calgary locked up Portland for 60 minutes in the first defensive battle of the AHA's first postseason. Perhaps most important for Calgary was Wayne Gretzky looking much more comfortable in his second game back from injury. Gretzky logged more than 20 minutes of ice time and was involved all night, taking seven shots. If Calgary has any chance to win the next two games and come back to take the series, Gretzky will need to be a factor.
Calgary 2, Portland 0 (Portland leads series 2-1)
