Notes:  The first period is a fast moving one in this heated rivalry, with few whistles or penalties.  It ends in a tie after Douris and Sylvester each score once.  The second period is more of the same, with Milwaukee taking an early lead.  Kansas City ties it up on a power play goal, but Douris gets his hat trick during another power play in the last 10 seconds of the second period.  The third period is a scoring explosion, with Craigwell tying it up early and Bruce giving the Blades the lead halfway through the period.  Mackey ties it up again at 4:44, only to see Bruce score again 3 minutes later.  Bruce puts the finishing touch on the game and on his hat trick with an empty net goal with 22 seconds remaining.
