November 1st, 1995. at Mellon Arena, Pittsburgh: Pittsburgh 10, Tampa Bay 0
Mario Lemieux's goal and six assists power the Penguins past the totally defenseless Lightning.
It's gotta be the last time anyone's scored seven points in a game, but it was only the first time all season that #66 would post at least 7 points in a single contest. Ron Francis played second fiddle from the center position, racking up a mere two goals and three assists.
The game got so out of hand, Tampa head coach Terry Crisp pulled starter J.C. Bergeron out of the net, only to put him back in when the Pens didn't ease up on Daren Puppa.
The Penguins were a fun team in 1995-96, featuring a roster stacked with offensive talent. Lemieux. Jagr. Francis. Nedved. Sandstrom. Smolinski. Zubov. 362 goals in 82 games - a total nobody has even come close to since.
