Lemieux, a center who's in his fifth NHL season, scores 1:18 into the Pittsburgh Penguins'
7-3 loss
to the Winnipeg Jets at Winnipeg Arena when he takes a pass from
Rob Brown
and beats goalie
Eldon Reddick
to the short side. The goal comes in Lemieux's 44th game of the season and the 46th for the Penguins.
Despite the milestone, the 23-year-old isn't happy after the game. "We didn't put any type of effort in out there," he said. "I don't know what's going on."
Lemieux finishes the season with 85 goals, the fourth-highest single-season total in NHL history, and his 199 points are the most scored in one season by anyone other than Gretzky (212).
