On this Date in Pittsburgh Penguins History

April 23, 1997

Mario Lemieux scores on his final shot at the Civic Arena against the Flyers in the playoffs. The crowd began chanting for Lemieux with 5 minutes remaining and came to its feet with 2:09 to play after a Lemieux video montage was shown on the jumbotron scoreboard. With a little over a minute to go, Lemieux broke in alone on Garth Snow and scored his final goal.
