Jean-Sebastien Dea got a Super visit after scoring his first NHL goal Tuesday.
Penguins co-owner Mario Lemieux stopped by Dea's locker to congratulate him after scoring the game-winning goal on his first NHL shot in the Pittsburgh Penguins 3-1 victory against the Carolina Hurricanes.

Dea, who like Lemieux originally hails from the province of Quebec, was incredulous when the Penguins' all-time leading scorer approached him to shake his hand after the game. But Dea quickly regained his poise when discussing the goal. The Penguins rookie is only 689 shy of Lemieux now.
