ATLANTA (AP) -- His left thumb was busted open. His stomach was aching. Still, Jaromir Jagr was the best player on the ice.

Jagr scored the tying goal with 8:42 left in the third period, then set up Robert Lang for the game-winner in the final minute of overtime as the Pittsburgh Penguins beat the Atlanta Thrashers 2-1 on Monday night.

"I don't feel good at all," Jagr said, whose thumb may have been broken with a slash in the second period. "But it wouldn't be fair to sit out with my team struggling a lot. Every point is big for us."

The Penguins snapped a seven-game winless streak (0-5-2) with their first victory since Jan. 14. The Thrashers have lost four in a row and their winless streak stretched to eight games (0-6-2).

Pittsburgh was on a power play when Jagr skated out of the right corner and fed a pass to Lang parked wide open in front of the net. He buried the shot with 32 seconds remaining in the extra period, giving the Penguins their first overtime victory in 10 games this season.

"They had to leave one guy open," Jagr said. "I just saw Lang open."

Jagr, who missed four games recently because of a muscle pull in his rib cage, was credited with his NHL-leading 36th goal after initially believing he was victimized on a magnificent glove save by Scott Fankhouser.

The rookie goalie made the initial stop on Alexei Kovalev, the puck deflecting to Jagr in the right faceoff circle. He fired toward the open net, but Fankhouser slid back across the crease with his glove hand to thwart Jagr, who collapsed face-first to the ice in disgust.

"I thought he made a great save," Jagr said. "I couldn't believe it. The goalies are getting better and better in this league."

But not good enough on this play. The video official changed the call when the replay showed Fankhouser's glove was across the goal line as he made the stop. Dozens of angry fans, taking advantage of "Mouse Pad Night," tossed their free gifts onto the ice, drawing a delay of game penalty for the Thrashers.

"I have no idea," Fankhouser said. "I didn't think it went in, but videotapes never lie."

Tom Barrasso stopped 27 shots for his 350th career victory, allowing only Dean Sylvester's power-play goal midway through the first period.

"We've been pretty bad on the road," Barrasso said, referring to the Penguins 4-18-4 mark away from home. "Anytime we can get a win, regardless of who it's against, we have to take it."

The expansion Thrashers have yet to win in overtime, dropping to 0-3-7 for the season.

"Our defense was terrific, especially against a team like that," coach Curt Fraser said. "Our problem is we just can't find the back of the net. We just can't finish."

The Penguins failed to take advantage of the penalty after Jagr's goal, but they picked up a second point in overtime after the Thrashers received an extra penalty during a melee in front of the Atlanta goal.

After it was all sorted out, the Penguins received two penalties -- including Barrasso for leaving the crease as he skated the length of the ice to even things up -- but three Thrashers were cited, leaving the Penguins with a four-on-three skating advantage.

Jagr's thumb was split open when slashed by a Thrashers player in the second period. While complaining about the lack of a call, he was given a 10-minute misconduct penalty.

"Look at my thumb," said Jagr, who will have X-rays on Tuesday. "I felt I had the right to say something and he gives me a 10-minute misconduct."

Fankhouser made 28 saves, including eight stops in overtime before Lang finally broke through.
