The 1999–2000 Pittsburgh Penguins season was the team's 33rd in the National Hockey League. It was the first season under ownership led by former superstar Mario Lemieux.
Off-season
[edit]In June 1999, a U.S. Bankruptcy Court Judge granted former player Mario Lemieux ownership of the Penguins franchise, who were in danger of either relocating to Portland, Oregon, or folding. Lemieux received final approval of team ownership by NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman on September 3, 1999.
Regular season
[edit]On April 7, 2000, Jaromir Jagr scored just 13 seconds into the overtime period to give the Penguins a 2–1 road win over the Buffalo Sabres.[1] It would prove to be the fastest overtime goal scored during the 1999–2000 regular season.[2]
