Gretzky completed the hat trick with a shot that banked off defenseman Dave Ellett's skate to give the Kings a 5-3 lead late in the third period.

Toronto fans are still upset that there was no call in overtime of Game 6 when Gretzky clipped Doug Gilmour with a high stick. Gretzky then scored the winner in overtime to send the series back to Toronto for Game 7.
