PHOENIX (AP) - The crowd that cheered Mario Lemieux in his only visit to Phoenix got behind the home team at the end.

Nearly all the fans were on their feet during a six-goal third period in which the lead changed hands three times and the Coyotes got three of their four power-play goals.

The last - Keith Tkachuk's second and NHL-leading 14th - was enough to earn the Coyotes a 5-4 victory over Lemieux's Pittsburgh Penguins on Wednesday night.
