Keith Crowder scored while falling down with 53 seconds to play Thursday night to help the Boston Bruins overcome a five-point performance by Mario Lemieux and beat the Pittsburgh Penguins, 6-5, at Boston.

Lemieux, who returned to action recently after a 13-game absence because of a knee injury, had three goals and two assists. His last goal, with 9:41 left, put the Penguins ahead, 5-4.

The game ended with a bench-clearing brawl that led to penalties on Randy Cunneyworth, Dan Frawley and Terry Ruskowski of Pittsburgh and Keith Crowder and Jay Miller of Boston.
