Penguins still searching for first win under Bylsma

Feb 19, 2009 - 3:36 PM Montreal (30-21-7) at Pittsburgh (27-25-6), 7:00 pm EST

PITTSBURGH (Ticker) -- The Montreal Canadiens are hoping to hang on to a playoff spot. The Pittsburgh Penguins are just looking to stay in the race.

The Penguins will seek their first win under new interim coach Dan Bylsma on Thursday, when they host the struggling Canadiens.

Bylsma, who replaced fired Michel Therrien, was unsuccessful in his debut as Pittsburgh suffered a 3-2 shootout loss to the New York Islanders on Monday.

The former coach at the Penguins' AHL affiliate in Wilkes-Barre/Scranton, Bylsma takes over a talented Penguins' squad that made it to the Stanley Cup Finals last season. But Pittsburgh has not lived up to its talent this campaign.

Despite a combined 46 goals and 155 points from All-Stars Evgeni Malkin and captain Sidney Crosby, the Penguins sit in 10th place in the Eastern Conference - six points out of the final postseason spot.

Montreal, which is 3-10-1 over its previous 14 contests, holds the sixth spot in the East.

Andrei Kostitsyn scored a goal and set up another during Wednesday's 4-3 shootout loss to the Washington Capitals.
