From Associated Press

Mario Lemieux scored his league-leading 47th goal and had three assists as the Penguins ended Chicago’s nine-game unbeaten streak with a 6-3 victory over the Blackhawks on Saturday at Pittsburgh.

Chicago, playing without leading scorer Jeremy Roenick and enforcer Bob Probert, saw its 7-0-2 streak end with its first loss since Jan. 17.

Roenick missed the game because of a concussion and hairline fracture of the jaw suffered Thursday against St. Louis, and Probert was serving a suspension after an elbowing incident in that game.
