Eric Fichaud
made 38 saves for his second career win.
The Isles won the game for interim coach Rick Bowness. Bowness coached the game as Mike Milbury was
at a General Manager’s meeting.
The Palffy/Andersson/Green
line finished the game with a combined +10 rating.
Here's some coverage from the NY Times:
Also on this
date: (1978) – Mike Bossy scored the first of his club record 39 hat tricks as
the Isles routed Washington 6-1. Bernie
Wolfe, who would allow Bossy’s 50th goal two months later, was in
goal for Washington.
All-time, the
Isles have played eight February 4th games at the Coliseum and finish with a
6-1-1 record on this date at 1255 Hempstead Turnpike in Uniondale.
