The National Hockey League’s 30 clubs are aligned into two conferences, each consisting of three divisions (Eastern Conference: Atlantic, Northeast, Southeast; Western Conference: Central, Northwest, Pacific). The number of teams qualifying for the 2012 Stanley Cup Playoffs remains at 16.

First-round playoff berths will be awarded to the first-place team in each division, as well as to the next five best teams (based on regular-season point totals in each conference). The three division winners in each conference will be seeded first through third (in order of points) and the next five best teams (in order of points) will be seeded fourth through eighth. In each conference, the team seeded #1 will play the team seeded #8; #2 vs. #7; #3 vs. #6 and #4 vs. #5 in the Conference Quarterfinal round. Home-ice in the Conference Quarterfinals is granted to those teams seeded first through fourth in each conference.

In the Conference Semifinals and Conference Finals, teams will be reseeded according to the same criteria as the Conference Quarterfinals (division leaders will be seeded first and granted home-ice advantage while the remaining teams will be seeded in order of regular-season points).

Home-ice advantage in the Stanley Cup Final will be determined by points.

All series remain best-of-seven.

TIE-BREAKING PROCEDURE:

In the event two or more clubs are tied in points at the conclusion of the regular season, the standing of the clubs in each conference will be determined in the following order:

1. The greater number of games won in regulation and overtime.

2. The greater number of points earned in games between the tied clubs. If two clubs are tied, and have not played an equal number of home games against each other, points earned in the first game played in the city that had the extra game shall not be included. If more than two clubs are tied, the higher percentage of available points earned in games among those clubs (and not including any “odd” games) shall be used to determine the standing.

3. The greater differential between goals for and against for the entire regular season.

CONFERENCE QUARTERFINALS (SERIES A – H)

The six regular-season division champions will be ranked in the first three positions in their respective conferences, the clubs with the greatest number of points being ranked first in their respective conferences. The remaining five playoff clubs in each conference will be ranked based on regular-season points. Following are the matchups based on the rankings.

CONFERENCE SEMIFINALS (SERIES I – L)

If one division winner is eliminated in the Conference Quarterfinals: The remaining division winners would be seeded first and second, followed by the two remaining clubs in order of regular-season points. The #1 seed would face the club with the fewest regular-season points, while the other two clubs would meet.

If two division winners are eliminated in the Conference Quarterfinals: The remaining division winner would be seeded first, followed by the three remaining clubs in order of regular-season points. The #1 seed would face the club with the fewest regular-season points, while the other two clubs would meet.

If all three division winners are eliminated in the Conference Quarterfinals: The remaining clubs would be ranked in order of regular-season points. The remaining team with the most regular-season points would be seeded first, followed by the three remaining teams. The #1 seed would face the #4 seed, while the #2 and #3 seeds would meet.

If a division winner meets a non-division winner that compiled more regular season points: The division winner would receive home-ice advantage.

CONFERENCE FINALS (SERIES M AND N)

The same criteria used in the selection of order for the Conference Quarterfinals (Advancing division winners, followed by remaining clubs based on regular-season points) again will be in effect.

If a division winner meets a non-division winner that compiled more regular-season points: The division winner would receive home-ice advantage.

If Conference Semifinal series end early: Start dates for the Conference Finals may be moved up depending on a number of factors, including building availability and travel schedules.

STANLEY CUP FINAL (SERIES O)

The Eastern Conference and Western Conference champions will meet in the Stanley Cup Final series. Home-ice will be determined by the greater number of regular-season points, subject to the tie-breaking procedures outlined previously. Games will be played on a 2-2-1-1-1 basis.

PITTSBURGH PENGUINS

2011-12 NOTES

SEASON SUMMARY

The Pittsburgh Penguins completed one of the best regular seasons in franchise history, going 51-25-6 to finish with 108 points – the second-highest point total in the Eastern Conference and the fourth-most points in the entire NHL. Pittsburgh’s 51 victories and 108 points both ranked second in franchise history (56 wins and 119 points in 1992-93).

The Penguins came in second place in the Atlantic Division, just one point behind the division-champion New York Rangers, earning them their sixth-consecutive postseason appearance.

Pittsburgh earned the No. 4 seed in the Eastern Conference, giving the Penguins home-ice advantage for their opening-round matchup against the cross-state rival Philadelphia Flyers.

MALKIN CAPTURES 2ND ART ROSS TROPHY

Center Evgeni Malkin rebounded from a torn ACL injury that ended his 2010-11 season prematurely to become the best player in the NHL this season. The 25-year-old led the league with 109 points (50G-59A) in 75 games to become the third player in franchise history (Mario Lemieux, 6; Jaromir Jagr, 5) to capture multiple Art Ross Trophies as NHL scoring champion.

Malkin, who won his first scoring title in ’08-09, became the NHL’s first repeat scoring champion since Jagr won four-straight crowns between 1998-2001. Malkin ended a streak of nine-straight seasons with a first-time winner.

Since 1988, the Penguins have won 14 of the last 24 scoring titles (Lemieux, 6; Jagr, 5; Malkin, 2; Sidney Crosby, 1).

MALKIN’S DOMINANT CAMPAIGN

Not only did Evgeni Malkin win his second Art Ross Trophy in 2011-12, he put forth one of the most dominant campaigns in recent memory, leading or placing near the top of several major statistical categories.

Malkin ended up winning the scoring title by 12 points over Tampa Bay’s Steven Stamkos – the largest point differential between the NHL’s top-two scorers since Jaromir Jagr defeated Teemu Selanne by 20 points in 1998-99. Malkin also led the NHL with a 1.45 point-per-game average (min. 41 games), the sixth-highest point-per-game average of the last seven years.

Malkin became the ninth player in franchise history to score 50 goals when he beat Sergei Bobrovsky with a wrist shot at 19:48 of the second period in the season-finale against Philadelphia.

In addition to leading the league in points, the 25-year-old Malkin finished the season in the top-5 in goals (50, 2nd); assists (59, T-3rd); power-play points (34, 2nd), game-winning goals (9, T-4th), home points (67, 1st) and road points (42, T-1st).

Malkin also led the NHL with 339 shots this season. His linemate, James Neal, ranked second with 329, making them the first set of teammates to finish the season ranked Nos. 1-2 in the NHL in shots since Brendan Shanahan (397 shots) and Brett Hull (392) did so with the St. Louis Blues in 1993-94.

HIGHEST-SCORING TEAM IN THE NHL

Pittsburgh finished the regular season with an NHL-best 273 goals this season – an average of 3.33 goals per game. This marks the first time the Penguins led the league in goals since doing so in back-to-back seasons in 1996-97 and ’95-96.

The Penguins were especially potent during the final 22 games of the regular season when they scored 94 goals for an average of 4.27 per contest. They tallied four or more goals 15 times during that stretch and five-plus goals on 11 occasions.

Five Penguins – Evgeni Malkin (50 goals), James Neal (40), Chris Kunitz (26), Jordan Staal (25), and Pascal Dupuis (25) – reached the 20-goal mark.

OVERCOMING INJURIES – AGAIN

For the second-straight season the Penguins remained one of the NHL’s elite teams despite battling injury issues all year. Pittsburgh lost 359 man-games due to injury this season.

The Penguins had 12 players miss 10 or more games this season, led by captain Sidney Crosby, who missed 60 of 82 games due to concussion symptoms/neck issues. Other key players who missed significant action this year included Kris Letang (29 games), Tyler Kennedy (22 games), Jordan Staal (20 games) and Zbynek Michalek (20 games).

Section Two • 2011-12 Regular-Season Review • 13pittsburghpenguins.com

SPECIAL TEAMS PROVIDE BOOST

Pittsburgh finished the regular season with the NHL’s No. 1 special teams unit in 2011-12. Both the power play and the penalty kill finished the year ranked in the top-10 – the first time that’s happened since 1995-96.

A year after finishing with the league’s No. 1-ranked penalty killing unit last season, the PK finished this year ranked third in the NHL after establishing a franchise record 87.8% success rate (237-for-270). The previous record was 86.4% in 1997-98.

After three-straight seasons of finishing 19th or lower, the power play had a renaissance year, converting 57-of-289 chances for a 19.7% success rate, tied for the fifth-best percentage in the NHL. James Neal led the NHL with 18 man-advantage tallies.

TURNING POINT

An 82-game NHL schedule is full of twists and turns, ups and downs. Pittsburgh’s season was no different. On the morning of Jan. 13, the Penguins had lost a season-high six-straight games and were sitting on the outside of the Eastern Conference playoff picture with a 21-17-4 record. That night they put an emphatic end to that streak by earning a 4-1 win against the Florida Panthers at the BankAtlantic Center.

That began an eight-game winning streak through Jan. 31 that put the Penguins back firmly in control of their sixth-straight playoff appearance. In the final 40 games of the regular season beginning on Jan. 13, the Penguins posted the NHL’s best record (30-8-2; .775 pct.).

NHL-BEST 11-GAME WINNING STREAK

This season the Penguins proved very capable of stringing victories together. That was especially true from Feb. 21-March 17 when they won an NHL-season-high 11 straight games – the third-longest winning streak in franchise history.

During the streak the Penguins outscored foes, 43-17, in regulation. They averaged 3.91 goals per game and allowed just 1.52 per contest.

Evgeni Malkin led Pittsburgh in the 11 games with eight goals, eight assists and 16 points. He was one of six players to average at least a point per game during the streak – Jordan Staal, 13 points (3G-10A); Pascal Dupuis, 11 points (7G-4A); Steve Sullivan, 11 points (4G-7A); James Neal, 11 points (2G-9A); and Sidney Crosby, 5 points (5A) in two games.

PERFECT COMBINATION

With his team having scored just three goals following back-to-back losses to Boston and Philadelphia, head coach Dan Bylsma altered his line combinations prior to the Penguins’ visit to Long Island on Dec. 10. The change that provided the most profound impact was inserting Chris Kunitz on the left wing next to Evgeni Malkin and James Neal. That night the trio combined for six points (2G-4A) while leading the Penguins to a 6-3 win against the Islanders. They remained together for 50 of the final 53 games of the regular season. During that time, they developed into the best line in the NHL. In those 50 games they combined for 175 points, an average of 3.5 combined points per game. Malkin led the way with 78 points (37G-41A), followed by Neal with 55 points (25G-30A) and Kunitz with 42 (15G-27A).

THE REAL DEAL

A position change from left to right wing, and the instant chemistry formed with NHL scoring champion Evgeni Malkin, led to a breakout season for 24-year-old sniper James Neal. In his first full season with Pittsburgh, Neal established career highs across the board offensively with 40 goals, 41 assists, 81 points, 18 power-play goals and 329 shots. His 18 man-advantage tallies led the NHL.

Neal’s 40 goals ranked fourth in the NHL and second among wingers. Neal also ranked among the league leaders in power-play points (30, 4th) and shots (2nd).

An All-Star for the first time, Neal was as productive as any player in the league, notching at least 10 points every month from October-March. Neal helped carry the Penguins through the opening month of the season with nine goals and 11 points, allowing the team to post an 8-3-2 record despite playing a majority of the month without Malkin (7 games missed) and Sidney Crosby (13 games missed).

PITTSBURGH PENGUINS

2011-12 NOTES

SPECTACULAR COMEBACK(S)

After missing 61 consecutive games between Jan. 5-Nov. 19, 2011 due to a concussion, captain Sidney Crosby made his first comeback in late November. Crosby, who missed the first 20 games of this season, torched the New York Islanders for two goals and two assists in his 2011-12 season debut on Nov. 21 at CONSOL Energy Center. Crosby’s dramatic return included a breakaway, backhand goal on Islanders rookie netminder Anders Nilsson just 5:24 into the game.

Crosby’s first comeback lasted just eight games before he was sidelined with concussion-like symptoms/neck injury on Dec. 5 in a game against Boston. In those eight games, Crosby tallied two goals, 10 assists, 12 points, four multiple-point games and he won the NHL’s ‘First Star’ award for the week of Nov. 21-27.

After missing 40 more games, Crosby made his second return on March 15 against the New York Rangers at Madison Square Garden, tallying a pair of assists. He went on to play in each of Pittsburgh’s final 14 regular-season games, accumulating six goals, 19 assists and 25 points. He finished with multiple points in nine of the 14 games.

Overall, Crosby appeared in 22 regular-season contests, during which he notched eight goals, 29 assists, 37points and had a 1.68 point-per-game average.

FRANCHISE GOALTENDER

Goaltender Marc-Andre Fleury quietly posted a career year between the pipes for the Penguins, building off the breakout regular-season he had in 2010-11. Fleury ranked second in the NHL (first in the Eastern Conference) with a career-high 42 victories – the second-highest single-season total in franchise history (Tom Barrasso; 43 wins; 1992-93).

From Jan. 13 through the end of the season, Fleury went 23-5-2 over his final 31 starts. The co-Dapper Dan Award winner, along with head coach Dan Bylsma, Fleury equaled the all-time franchise win mark

with 226 following a 5-2 defeat of the New York Rangers on April 5. Earlier in the season, Fleury recorded his 22nd career shutout against the NY Rangers on Feb. 21 – equaling Barrasso’s franchise record.

SUPER DUPER STREAK

Pascal Dupuis’ 11th NHL season turned out to be his best yet. The versatile forward established career highs for himself across the board with 25 goals, 34 assists, 59 points, eight game-winning goals and 214 shots while appearing in all 82 games. However, none of those numbers represent his most impressive statistic of the season – his NHL-season-high 17-game point streak from March 7-April 7.

Dupuis’ run was the NHL’s longest point streak since his linemate, Sidney Crosby, posted a 25-game point streak from Nov. 5-Dec. 28, 2010. During his streak, Dupuis amassed 22 points (10G-12A).

TAKING CARE OF BUSINESS

In their second season at CONSOL Energy Center, the Penguins made their new barn one of the toughest venues for opposing teams to play by winning 29 games – the third-highest single-season total in franchise history. Pittsburgh finished the regular season with a 29-10-2 home record – good for an Eastern Conference-best 60 home points.

That included a 10-game home winning streak from Feb. 21-March 25 – tied for the second-longest home winning streak in franchise history.

Pittsburgh averaged 3.56 goals per game at home this season (146 regulation goals/41 games played) – the highest average in the NHL.

From Jan. 17 through the end of the season, the Penguins went 18-3 over their last 21 home games. They outscored their opponents by an 85-52 margin. Pittsburgh’s average goals per game in those 21 contests was 4.05.

‘DAPPER’ DAN BYLSMA

Head coach Dan Bylsma directed the Penguins to another top regular-season finish. The co-Dapper Dan Award winner, alongside goaltender Marc-Andre Fleury, Bylsma helped lead the Penguins to 51 wins despite his team suffering 359 man-games lost due to injury.

On Feb. 26, Bylsma became the fourth-fastest coach in NHL history to reach 150 wins (251 games) when the Penguins defeated Columbus, 4-2. Earlier in the season, Bylsma became the second-winningest coach in franchise history by picking up his 136th victory at Florida on Jan. 13 (Eddie Johnston, 232 wins).

In three-plus seasons behind the bench, Bylsma has compiled a 165-81-25 record (.655 pct.) in 271 regular-season games.

PITTSBURGH PENGUINS

2011-12 NOTES

HOME GOAL SCORING STREAKS

A pair of Penguins – James Neal and Evgeni Malkin – had eight-game home goal-scoring streaks this season – tied for the second-longest home goal-scoring streaks in franchise history. Mario Lemieux owns the record, scoring goals in 11 straight games between Jan. 5-Feb. 23, 1996.

Neal’s streak began with the home opener against Florida on Oct. 11 and lasted through a Nov. 15 meeting with the Colorado Avalanche (10 goals total). Neal became the first NHL player to tally in each of his team’s first eight home games of the season since Simon Gagne did so with the Philadelphia Flyers in 2005-06.

Malkin’s streak started with a tally against the New Jersey Devils on Jan. 7 and lasted until he scored twice on Feb. 12 in a game versus Winnipeg. Malkin had nine goals during his streak.

ROAD TESTED

The Penguins once again took care of business away from home – posting the sixth-best road record in the NHL at 22-15-4. That marked the sixth-straight season that the Penguins have won 20-plus road games – the longest active streak in the NHL and the second-longest streak in NHL history (Montreal; 7 years; 1972-73 to ’78-79).

Under head coach Dan Bylsma, the Penguins have gone 76-44-16 (.618 pct.) in 136 regular-season road games.

COMEBACK KIDS

During the 2010-11 season, the Penguins were the only NHL team that failed to win a game when trailing after two periods. This season, the Penguins were one of the NHL’s best third-period comeback teams – earning eight victories when behind after 40 minutes. Only the Tampa Bay Lightning (9) won more games when trailing entering the final frame.

Pittsburgh posted an 8-19-2 record when trailing after two periods – good for an NHL-best .276 points percentage.This season the Penguins found themselves trailing by two or more goals in 29 games. They rebounded to emerge

victorious in nine of those instances (.310 pct.).

BENEFITTING FROM THE SHOOTOUT

One of the reasons the Penguins ended the season near the top of the NHL standings was the team’s 9-3 record in shootouts. That tied for the third-most shootout victories behind the New Jersey Devils (12) and Minnesota Wild (11).

Individually, goaltender Marc-Andre Fleury led the NHL with nine shootout victories, stopping 30-of-39 attempts for a .769 save percentage.

Evgeni Malkin, who entered the season having converted just seven-of-29 career shootout attempts, ranked second (tied) in the NHL with eight shootout goals in 11 attempts for a 72.7% success rate. Malkin led the team with three game-deciding goals.

SELLOUT STREAK SURPASSES 250 CONSECUTIVE GAMES

The Penguins sold out all 41 home games this season at CONSOL Energy Center – the fifth consecutive year the team has sold out its entire home slate. Heading into the postseason, the Penguins have sold out a franchise record 251 consecutive games (including playoffs) dating back to Feb. 14, 2007. On April 5 against the New York Rangers the Penguins celebrated the team’s 250th consecutive sellout.

Since the sellout streak began, 4,401,038 fans have seen the Penguins in action, an average of 17,534 per game. On Jan. 10 against Ottawa, the Penguins surpassed the four-million fan mark since the streak began. During the streak the Penguins have an overall record of 162-72-17 (.679 pct.).

Pittsburgh set a team attendance record this season with 761,224 fans coming to watch the Penguins post the third-best home record in the NHL, an average of 18,567 fans per game. The Penguins set a single-game attendance record when 18,616 fans filled the arena for the season-finale against Philadelphia on Apr. 7.

SERIES NOTES

HERE WE GO AGAIN

The Pittsburgh Penguins and Philadelphia Flyers meet in the Stanley Cup playoffs for the third time in the last five years. Pittsburgh won the first two series meetings, defeating the Flyers in six games during the opening round of the 2009 postseason, and beating them in five games in the ’08 Eastern Conference Finals.

This will be the sixth postseason meeting between the teams, with Philadelphia holding a slight 3-2 edge in series victories. Philadelphia beat Pittsburgh in six games in the 2000 Eastern Conference Semifinals; Philadelphia bounced the Penguins in five games in the 1997 Eastern Conference Quarterfinals; and the Flyers defeated the Penguins in seven games in the 1989 Patrick Division Finals.

In 29 postseason games between the teams, Philadelphia holds a slight 15-14 advantage in wins and a 91-89 edge in goals.

CONFERENCE ELITE

Since the 2008 postseason, Pittsburgh and Philadelphia have combined to represent the Eastern Conference in three of four Stanley Cup Finals (Pittsburgh, ‘08 and ’09; Philadelphia, ’10) – with the Penguins winning it all in ’09.

Over that stretch, the Penguins (40 wins) and Flyers (29) have notched the first and third-most postseason victories among Eastern Conference teams (Boston, 2nd, 33 wins). Pittsburgh’s eight series victories during that span leads the conference, while the Flyers and Bruins are tied for second with six series wins each.

Over the last two regular seasons, Pittsburgh leads the Eastern Conference with 100 regular-season victories, with Philadelphia (94 wins) coming in a close fourth behind the New York Rangers and Boston (95 each).

OFFENSIVE FIREPOWER

This opening-round matchup features the two highest scoring teams in the NHL this season. Pittsburgh led the league in goals for the first time since 1996-97 by scoring 273 goals for an average of 3.33 per game. Philadelphia finished second (tied) with 260 goals (3.17 avg.).

Nine different Penguins reached double-digits in goals this season – including five who scored 20-plus goals. The Flyers had 11 players score 10 or more goals – with four surpassing the 20-goal mark.

BACK FOR MORE

The Penguins return 11 players who played in the 2009 Eastern Conference Quarterfinals series against Philadelphia – Evgeni Malkin, Sidney Crosby, Tyler Kennedy, Kris Letang, Matt Cooke, Chris Kunitz, Craig Adams, Brooks Orpik, Jordan Staal, Pascal Dupuis and Marc-Andre Fleury.

Malkin led all scorers in the series with nine points (4G-5G). He was followed closely by Crosby, who finished with eight (4G-4A).

Philadelphia returns six players who suited up that spring – Claude Giroux, Danny Briere, Scott Hartnell, Kimmo Timonen, Braydon Coburn and Matt Carle.

That series served as Giroux’s coming-out party after he led the Flyers with five points (2G-3A) in six contests.

SERIES NOTESSAME GUYS, DIFFERENT SIDES

Two players from that ’09 series – Arron Asham and Maxime Talbot – have switched sides for the rematch. A Flyer this time around, Talbot, scored one goal in six games with the Penguins that spring, but played a pivotal role in

helping Pittsburgh eliminate Philadelphia. After the Flyers’ Danny Briere scored to give the Flyers a 3-0 lead in the second period of Game 6, Talbot dropped the gloves with Philadelphia’s Daniel Carcillo. At the end of the fight, Talbot did his infamous ‘Shhhh’ gesture to the Philadelphia crowd. Just 14 seconds after, Pittsburgh scored the first of five unanswered goals to earn a 5-3 victory that afternoon, and a 4-2 series victory.

Current Penguin Asham tallied two points (1G-1A) in six games for Philadelphia in ’09 against the Penguins.

POSTSEASON EXPERIENCE

Recent trips to the Stanley Cup Final for Pittsburgh and Philadelphia mean that both teams have plenty of postseason experience on its roster. The Penguins’ active roster has combined to play in 1,008 career postseason games prior to this series, while the Flyers’ active roster has accumulated 821 postseason games. Pittsburgh has 12 players who have 50-plus postseason contests on their resume, compared to eight such players for Philadelphia.

BEEN THERE BEFORE

Eleven Penguins have hoisted the Stanley Cup before – including a pair of players who have won twice in Chris Kunitz (’09, Pittsburgh; ’07, Anaheim) and Craig Adams (’09, Pittsburgh; ’06, Carolina). The nine Pittsburgh players who won the Stanley Cup once with the Penguins in ’09 include Sidney Crosby, Evgeni Malkin, Jordan Staal, Kris Letang, Marc-Andre Fleury, Brooks Orpik, Tyler Kennedy, Pascal Dupuis and Matt Cooke.

Six Flyers – including injured captain Chris Pronger (2007, Anaheim) – have combined to win seven Stanley Cups. Former Penguin Jaromir Jagr is the lone two-time champion (1991 and ’92, Pittsburgh). One-time Cup champions in addition to Pronger are Max Talbot (’09, Pittsburgh); Andreas Lilja (’08, Detroit); Ilya Bryzgalov (’07, Anaheim); and Pavel Kubina (’04, Tampa Bay).

MAKING THEIR DEBUT

Each team has several players that could make his postseason debut in this series – forwards Joe Vitale, Dustin Jeffrey and Steve MacIntyre and defensemen Deryk Engelland and Brian Strait for Pittsburgh; forwards Sean Couturier, Matt Read and Brayden Schenn and defenseman Erik Gustafsson for Philadelphia.

GOALTENDING MATCHUP

Two of the NHL’s best goaltenders will square off this series in Pittsburgh’s Marc-Andre Fleury and Philadelphia’s Ilya Bryzgalov. Both goaltenders own Stanley Cup rings (Fleury in 2009; Bryzgalov in ’07 with Anaheim).

Fleury enters the postseason with a career playoff record of 41-28. Among active goaltenders, only New Jersey’s Martin Brodeur (99) has more wins. Bryzgalov’s postseason record is 12-13. Bryzgalov went 3-1 with a 2.25 goals-against average in a relief role for Anaheim when they won the Cup in ’07.

Fleury has an 8-3 career postseason record against Philadelphia. In those 11 games he has stopped 320-of-325 shots for a .929 save percentage, while posting a 2.04 goals-against average (23GA/676 MIN). This will be Bryzgalov’s first postseason action against the Penguins.

UNFRIENDLY CONFINES

Pittsburgh and Philadelphia have both fared better on the road against one another than at home in recent years. The Penguins have gone 8-3-1 in their last 12 regular-season visits to Philadelphia, including a 1-1-1 mark this year. Philadelphia enters Game 1 as the winningest road team in the two-year history of CONSOL Energy Center with a 5-1 record.

During the postseason, Pittsburgh has gone 6-8 all-time in Philadelphia, while the Flyers have gone 7-8 in Pittsburgh. Three times – Pittsburgh in ’09; Philadelphia in ’00; Philadelphia in ’89 – the team that has won the series earned its series-clinching victory in the other’s building.

CROSBY AND MALKIN VS. PHILADELPHIA

Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin have both put up strong postseason numbers against the Flyers. In fact, at least one of them has recorded a point in nine of 11 career meetings, and at least one has finished with multiple points eight times.

Crosby has six goals, nine assists and 15 points in 11 games for a 1.36 point-per-game average. He has eight points (3G-5A) in six home games and seven points (3G-4A) in five road contests.

Malkin has collected seven goals, seven assists and 14 points in 11 games for a 1.27 point-per-game average. Malkin has nine points (5G-4A) in six home games and five points (2G-3A) in five road contests.

A PAIR OF CHAMPIONS

This series features two head coaches with Stanley Cup championships on their resumes. Pittsburgh’s Dan Bylsma led his team to a championship in 2009, while Philadelphia bench boss Peter Laviolette guided the Carolina Hurricanes to a Cup victory in ’06.

Bylsma enters this series as Pittsburgh’s all-time franchise leader with 26 postseason victories (26-18 record) – three more than Hall of Famer Scotty Bowman (23). Bylsma and Bowman have both won five series apiece, tied for most in team history.

Laviolette has a postseason record of 38-33 in 71 career games. That includes an 18-16 mark with Philadelphia. In 2010, he led the Flyers to within two wins of the franchise’s first Stanley Cup win since 1975.

STAR WATCH: JAROMIR JAGR

One potential difference-maker for Philadelphia will be right winger Jaromir Jagr. The Flyers’ third-leading scorer this season, Jagr won a pair of Stanley Cups with Pittsburgh in 1991 and ’92. He enters the 2012 postseason leading all active players in career playoff goals (77), while ranking second among active players behind Detroit’s Nicklas Lidstrom in both assists (104) and points (181).

This will be Jagr’s first NHL postseason experience since playing in the 2008 Eastern Conference Semifinals against the Penguins when he was a member of the New York Rangers. Pittsburgh eliminated the Rangers in five games that spring, but Jagr starred with three goals, four assists and seven points.

Although Jagr hasn’t played for Pittsburgh since the ’01 postseason, he places at the top of the Penguins’ all-time playoff games played list with 140, while ranking second behind Mario Lemieux in goals (65), assists (82) and points (147). Jagr’s 14 game-winning goals and four overtime goals while playing for Pittsburgh are also both franchise records.

As a member of the Penguins, Jagr made two postseason appearances against Philadelphia (’97, ’00), appearing in 11 games and amassing 14 points (9G-5A).

OVERTIME HISTORY

Pittsburgh and Philadelphia have played four postseason overtime games against one another, with each team going 2-2.

Bill Guerin won the most-recent OT contest between the teams by scoring at 18:29 of the first overtime to give Pittsburgh a 3-2 victory in Game 2 of the 2009 Eastern Conference Quarterfinals on April 17, 2009.

Philadelphia won a pair of OT games in the 2000 Eastern Conference Semifinals at Mellon Arena – including one of the most-famous finishes in NHL postseason history. The Flyers won Game 3 that spring, 4-3, thanks to an Andy Delmore goal 11:01 into the extra session on May 2, 2000. Two days later, Philadelphia’s Keith Primeau scored 12:01 into the fifth overtime period to give the Flyers a 2-1 victory that evened that series at 2-2 in a game that still stands as the longest postseason contest in Penguins history. Ron Tugnutt established a franchise record that night by making 70 saves for Pittsburgh.

The first Penguins-Flyers postseason overtime game came on April 21, 1989 in Game 3 of the Patrick Division Finals. Phil Bourque secured a 4-3 victory for the Penguins at the Spectrum by tallying 12:08 into the first overtime.

DAN BYLSMAHEAD COACH

Dan Bylsma is already one of the most successful coaches in Penguins’ history, leading the team to a Stanley Cup and winning the Jack Adams Award as the NHL’s “Most Outstanding Coach,” in just three-plus seasons behind the bench.

Bylsma (pronounced BYLE-zmuh) has led the Penguins to three straight 100-point seasons and four consecutive playoff berths, while becoming the winningest playoff coach in team history with 26 postseason victories and five (tied-Scotty Bowman) playoff series victories. Bylsma has the best regular-season winning percentage (.655) in team history with an all-time record of 165-81-25. His 165 wins are the second most in team history (Eddie Johnston, 232).

Bylsma, who is signed through the 2013-14 season, finished the 2011-12 season with a 51-25-6 record for 108 points. The team’s 51 wins and 108 points are the second-highest in franchise history. For his work, Bylsma was named co-recipient of the Dapper Dan Sportsman of the Year (Marc-Andre Fleury). He also became the fourth-fastest coach in NHL history to reach 150 wins (251 games) Feb. 26 vs. Columbus.

Bylsma, 41, earned the 2011 Jack Adams Award after masterfully steering an injury-depleted Penguins team to a 49-25-8 record for 106 points (third-most wins and points in franchise history) and same point total as Atlantic Division-winning Philadelphia despite suffering 350 man-games lost – including 119 games to the team’s best three players: Sidney Crosby (41 games); Evgeni Malkin (39); and Jordan Staal (39).

In 2008-09, Bylsma penned one of the most remarkable starts to a head coaching career in NHL history. He began the season in his first head coaching job, with Wilkes-Barre/Scranton of the American Hockey League, and finished the year by raising the Stanley Cup.

Bylsma was promoted to Pittsburgh Feb. 15, 2009 to help save a team that was 10th overall in the Eastern Conference standings with diminishing hopes of earning a postseason berth. With an injection of attitude and aggressiveness, Bylsma inspired an 18-3-4 run in the final 25 games to climb from 10th to fourth place and home-ice advantage in the opening round.

The Grand Haven, Mich. native oversaw one of the most dramatic playoff runs in league history. The Penguins clinched all four series on the road, twice rallying from 2-0 series deficits (against Washington and Detroit). Pittsburgh beat the defending champion Red Wings four times in the last five games to claim the Cup, including a 2-1 Game 7 victory in Detroit.

Bylsma became the 14th rookie head coach, and just the fourth in the past 50 years, to capture the Stanley Cup. Of those 14, only Montreal’s Al MacNeil took over mid-season (1970-71).

During his coaching career Bylsma has led the Penguins on a 12-game winning streak (tied for second best in club history), an 11-game winning streak (3rd longest in team history), a 10-game home winning streak (tied for 2nd longest in franchise history) a 15-game unbeaten streak and a seven-game road winning streak (tying team record).

Bylsma played nine NHL seasons with Los Angeles and Anaheim from 1995-2004. He appeared in 429 regular-season games, recording 19 goals and 62 points. He was a member of Anaheim’s 2003 Western Conference championship team.

He began his coaching career as an assistant with the Cincinnati Mighty Ducks of the AHL in 2004-05. Bylsma was an assistant coach with the New York Islanders the following season.

Bylsma joined the Penguins organization as assistant coach with Wilkes-Barre/Scranton in 2006. Two seasons later he was promoted to WBS head coach in 2008-09. He led the team to a 35-16-1-2 record in 54 games before being promoted to Pittsburgh.

Bylsma played four seasons of college hockey at Bowling Green.

Dan and his wife, Mary Beth, have one son, Bryan, and reside in the North Hills.

TODD REIRDENASSISTANT COACH

GILLES MELOCHEGOALTENDING COACH

Todd Reirden finished his second season as an assistant coach with the Penguins. The former NHL defenseman works closely with the team’s defensemen and power play, among his other

responsibilities. Under his guidance, the Penguins’ power play ranked fifth (tied) in the NHL with a 19.7-percent success rate in 2011-12.

Reirden, 40, joined the Penguins organization August 18, 2008 as an assistant coach in Wilkes-Barre/Scranton of the American Hockey League. A few months later he was promoted to head coach following Dan Bylsma’s promotion to Pittsburgh. Reirden guided WBS to a 14-9-3 record in the final 26 games and into the second round of the AHL playoffs. Reirden then joined Pittsburgh’s extended playoff coaching staff and helped the team win the Stanley Cup.

In his only full season as head coach in WBS in 2009-10 Reirden led a young and inexperienced team to an impressive 41-34-2-3 mark and a berth in the Calder Cup playoffs.

Prior to joining the Penguins organization, Reirden spent one season as an assistant coach with his alma mater – the Bowling Green Falcons (Central Collegiate Hockey Association). He was a teammate of Bylsma’s during the 1990-91 and ‘91-92 seasons.

Reirden was selected by New Jersey in the 12th round (242nd overall) of the 1990 NHL Draft. He played 13 professional seasons, retiring in 2007 with Graz EC of the Austrian Hockey League. He appeared in 183 NHL games with Edmonton, St Louis, Atlanta and Phoenix. He recorded 46 points (11G-35A) and 181 PIMs in his NHL career.

Todd and his wife, Shelby, have one son.

Former NHL goaltender Gilles Meloche completed his sixth season as the Penguins full-time goaltending coach and 26th overall with the organization, winning three Stanley Cups with the franchise.

Meloche has been instrumental in the development of Marc-Andre Fleury into a franchise and Stanley Cup-winning netminder. With Meloche’s teaching, Fleury has become the backbone of the team while tying for the most wins (226) and shutouts (22) in team history.

Meloche, 61, served as a Penguins scout from 1989-06 and doubled as goaltending coach/consultant during much of that time. He was part of the staff when the Penguins won Cups in 1991 and ’92.

The Montreal, Quebec native spent 18 seasons as an NHL goaltender with Chicago, California, Cleveland, Minnesota and Pittsburgh. He played the final three seasons of his career with the Penguins following a 1985 trade.

Meloche appeared in 788 NHL games, posting a 270-351-131 record with 3.64 goals-against average. In 45 playoff games he posted a 21-19 mark with a 3.48 GAA.

Gilles and his wife, Sophie, reside in Pittsburgh. His son Eric is a pro player who played in the Penguins organization from 2000-04.

TONY GRANATOASSISTANT COACH

Tony Granato completed his third season on the Penguins coaching staff. Granato, among his responsibilities, works with the team’s forwards and penalty killing units. He oversaw the NHL’s No. 1-ranked penalty killing unit (86.1 percent) in 2010-11 and 3rd-ranked unit (87.8) in ‘11-12. The 87.8-success rate is the best mark in team history.

Prior to joining the Penguins, Granato spent six seasons with the Colorado Avalanche and served two stints as Avalanche head coach (2002-04 and 2008-09). Granato compiled a 104-78-17-16 record and led Colorado to a Northwest Division title in 2003.

Granato, 47, joined the Avalanche organization in June, 2002, as an assistant coach. He was elevated to head coach Dec. 18, 2002 and led the club to a 32-11-4-4 mark en route to its ninth consecutive division title. The following season Granato steered the club to a 40-22-13-7 finish and Western Conference semifinals.

The Downers Grove, Illinois native served as an assistant coach for the Avalanche from 2005-08. He was promoted to a second tenure as head coach in 2008 and oversaw the development of a young Colorado team.

Granato played 13 NHL seasons with NY Rangers (1988-90), Los Angeles (90-96) and San Jose (96-01). In 1997, he played in the NHL All-Star Game and was the recipient of the Bill Masterton Memorial Trophy for overcoming a near career-ending brain injury.

In 773 career NHL games, the feisty forward posted 248 goals, 492 points and 1,425 penalty minutes. He tallied 16 goals, 43 points and 141 penalty minutes in 79 career playoff games, and helped lead Los Angeles to a Stanley Cup berth in 1993.

Granato played four years at the University of Wisconsin and was inducted into the Badgers’ Hall of Fame in 2000. He also played for the U.S. National team in 1987-88 and represented his country in the 1988 Olympic Games in Calgary.

Tony and his wife, Linda, are the parents of four children and reside in the South Hills.
