Since Dan Bylsma's take over of the Pittsburgh Penguins they have gone 17-3-4 for a total of 38 points. Bylsma's charasmatic attitude and tweaking of the Penguins systems and game play has turned what looked to be like a head start toward the golf course into a playoff contender. With that said tonight Bylsma may make history. With a Penguins win tonight Bylsma would equal the best 25 game start in NHL history according to Trib Total Media. Though this would be a tremendous feat, Bylsma's future will rest on the Penguins playoff run.
Notes: Miroslav Satan cleared re-entry waivers and will join the Penguins for tonights game in Montreal. The Penguins used one of there 4 call up chances that are granted during the playoffs to bring Satan back up. Goaltender Marc Andre Fleury and Hal Gill are expected to return to the lineup tonight.
