  Graphic: Genevive Oliver There have been great players for the Pittsburgh Penguins, and then there has been Mario Lemieux. From the impossible reach of his stick to his effortless, balletic stride, 'Le Magnifique' wasn't just a force of nature—he was a work of art on ice. His time in Pittsburgh wasn't just about piling up goals and assists; it was an incredible journey of dizzying highs, a battle with a life-threatening illness, and then, a truly triumphant comeback that carved his place as an eternal Penguins legend.

   Jared McCann scores the second and last goal for the Kraken. Blake Wheeler gets an empty-netter with his second of the game! The final score overall was 5-2.



"It was huge going into the game. We were hoping that we couldn't give them many rush chances and odd-man rushes. They have a lot of speed and they make you pay on those. Unfortunately, we turned the puck over quite a bit - you hate to have to rely on him to make the amount of quality saves he made. Fortunately for us, that's why he's world-class and he made a bunch of big ones for us tonight." Blake Wheeler spoke about the Rangers 5-2 win against the Kraken postgame.
