PITTSBURGH (AP) -- Pittsburgh Penguins owner-player Mario Lemieux was hospitalized Wednesday for observation of an irregular heartbeat, general manager Craig Patrick said.

Lemieux will be monitored overnight in the undisclosed hospital and won't play Thursday night against the Minnesota Wild. The team said his playing status will be day to day after that.

According to Patrick, Lemieux reported having an irregular heartbeat after practice.


"We thought the best precaution was to have him enter the hospital for observation," Patrick said.

The 40-year-old Lemieux recently missed two games because of what the team described as the stomach flu, but it was not immediately known if an illness that he said lingered for days was related to his latest problem.
just thought I would let everyone know if you havn't heard it doesn't look to be serious so thats good news and he will not miss to much time but always wish the best for super Mario
