General manager Mike Smith was fired on October 24, 2003. Bob Pulford replaced Smith on an interim basis until a replacement could be found. [3]
On December 11, 2003, Mark Bell scored just 15 seconds into the overtime period to give the Blackhawks a 4β3 home win over the Detroit Red Wings. [4] The Sabres' Derek Roy would match that mark in the overtime period on March 17, 2004, in a 4β3 Buffalo road win over the Atlanta Thrashers. [5] Both goals would prove to be the fastest overtime goals scored during the 2003β04 NHL regular season. [6] In February, team captain Alexei Zhamnov was traded to the Philadelphia Flyers. The team chose not to name a replacement for the rest of the season.
