Joey Mullen, a Pittsburgh Penguins right wing, is expected to miss the rest of the season after undergoing surgery yesterday to remove a herniated disk.

Joey Mullen, who retired six years ago with 502 goals, was the only American-born player to score more career goals.

"All I can say is he's doing fine," said Joey Mullen, who visited his brother in the hospital before the game.

Joey Mullen's second goal of the game tied the score at 19:11.

Besides losing Lemieux, the Penguins also went without Joey Mullen, who left the game in the first period after taking a shot on his foot.

Joey Mullen played at Boston College and signed as a free agent with the St. Louis Blues in 1979.

One of them is Joey Mullen.

Scoring for the Penguins were Joey Mullen, who had two goals, and Bob Errey.

"We both came into the league touted as goal scorers," said Joey Mullen, who at 31 is five years older than Brian.

Joey Mullen drove down from Boston as soon as he heard the news.
