December 4th, 1996: Jyrki Lumme tops Doug Lidster as Vancouver's all-time leading scoring defenceman after a first period tally against the Buffalo Sabres. Lumme's record would stand for almost 13 years before Mattias Ohlund passed him in March last season. Ohlund's record now stands at 325 points whereas both Lumme and Dennis Kearns have 321 each. The closest roster player with a shot at Ohlund's record is Sami Salo who has 179 points, good enough for 9th best in team history.
