[edit] Trivia
- Mullen scored his 500th career goal against Patrick Roy at the McNichols Sports Arena in Denver, Colorado during a game between the Colorado Avalanche and Pittsburgh Penguins on March 14, 1997.
- Legendary Penguins broadcaster Mike Lange, who is famous for his colorful nicknames, gave Mullen the moniker "Slippery Rock Joe" for his agility and toughness on the ice. The nickname led some Pittsburgh fans to mistakely believe that he was a graduate of nearby Slippery Rock University of Pennsylvania.
