1989: Mario Lemieux becomes the second player in NHL history to score 50 goals in fewer than 50 games. He joins Wayne Gretzky , who's done it three times.

Lemieux, a center who's in his fifth NHL season, scores 1:18 into the Pittsburgh Penguins' 7-3 loss to the Winnipeg Jets at Winnipeg Arena when he takes a pass from Rob Brown and beats goalie Eldon Reddick to the short side. The goal comes in Lemieux's 44th game of the season and the 46th for the Penguins.

Despite the milestone, the 23-year-old isn't happy after the game. "We didn't put any type of effort in out there," he said. "I don't know what's going on."

Lemieux finishes the season with 85 goals, the fourth-highest single-season total in NHL history, and his 199 points are the most scored in one season by anyone other than Gretzky (212).
