From Associated Press

Tom Barrasso made 26 saves and the Pittsburgh Penguins survived Mario Lemieux’s first-period ejection and beat the Tampa Bay Lightning, 2-1, at Pittsburgh on Monday.

Lemieux was given a game misconduct penalty for the third time in his career after he left the penalty box to charge referee Kerry Fraser. Lemieux was disputing a high-sticking call.

Jaromir Jagr and Tomas Sandstrom scored for Pittsburgh as Barrasso continued a hot streak in which he has gone 13-6-2.
