The Florida Panthers made sure Mario Lemieux didn’t spoil their night.

Valeri Bure scored at 2:19 of overtime and the Panthers overcame a late goal by Lemieux to beat the Pittsburgh Penguins, 4-3, Wednesday night at Sunrise, Fla.

Bure took a pass from Kristian Huselius and squeezed the puck past Johan Hedberg on the right side for a power-play goal, ending the Penguins’ four-game winning streak.

The Panthers appeared headed for a win in regulation until Lemieux, the NHL’s leading scorer with 29 points, tied the score, 3-3, with nine seconds left the third period.
