Flashback to New Years Eve on 1988, 32 years ago today.
The Penguins were facing off with the New Jersey Devils and it was a special night for Super Mario.
The Penguins would beat the Devils 8-6, but it was what Mario did that set him apart from anyone else, scoring five goals — but doing so in five different ways.
Lemieux started his scoring with an even strength goal early in the first period.
Later in the first period, he would add a shorthanded goal and a power-play goal.
