Perreault suffered a broken arm and missed 23 games; Barrasso received a four-game suspension for his actions.
Another setback occurred on March 11 at Ottawa, when Senators forward Marian Hossa was attempting to clear the puck out of the centre-ice zone.
Hossa swung his stick in a golf-swing motion and caught Toronto defenceman Bryan Berard in his right eye.
Additionally, Sergei Berezin, a 37-goal scorer in 1998–99, missed 21 games for the team, but nonetheless finished with a solid 26 goals for Toronto.
The 50th National Hockey League All-Star Game was part of the 1999–2000 NHL season, and took place in Toronto's Air Canada Centre on February 6, 2000.
Gretzky also made it clear that he would not partake in any oldtimer or Heroes of Hockey game unless it was held in Edmonton, a statement that was realized with the 2003 Heritage Classic three years later.
