Ron Hextall made 22 saves for the Isles, who killed six of seven Whaler power plays.

Also on this date: (2007) – In the Isles’ first game since the Al Arbour celebration three nights earlier, Miroslav Satan was the hero again, scoring the winning goal mid-way through the third period as the Isles beat the Rangers 3-2.
