Once again, Mario Lemieux’s timing was perfect. On possibly the last shift of his last NHL game, Lemieux set up Eric Meloche’s goal with 10.1 seconds left to give the Pittsburgh Penguins a
3-2 victory over Carolina on Wednesday at Pittsburgh. Afterward, Lemieux repeated what he has said for weeks -- he won’t decide until this summer if he will play next season. “I’m not sure
if I want to be part of a rebuilding process,” he said. “I’ve been wrestling with that for a while now.... If this was my last game, I wanted to finish here, in front of the fans here who
have supported me.” Vancouver 3, Phoenix 3 -- Teppo Numminen scored with 2:01 remaining and the Coyotes rallied in the third period for the tie at Phoenix. Vancouver’s Markus Naslund scored
his league-leading 48th goal. Columbus 3, Minnesota 0 -- Marc Denis stopped 27 shots for his fifth shutout and the Blue Jackets had three power-play goals at home. Buffalo 4, Atlanta 3 --
Daniel Briere and Tim Connolly scored power-play goals in the last 1:59 for the Sabres at Buffalo, N.Y. San Jose 2, Calgary 2 -- Chris Drury scored the tying goal at 14:39 of the third
period to give the host Flames a tie. Tampa Bay 2, Montreal 1 -- Nikolai Khabibulin made 26 saves as the Lightning won at Tampa, Fla. MORE TO READ
