The Pittsburgh Penguins will send their former No. 1 draft pick back to the minors on Wednesday, and it has nothing to do with the quality of his play or their latest last-place finish.

And, no, it is not Sidney Crosby.

NHL teams rarely make their starting goalies go down to the minors when the season ends, but the Penguins will do that by sending Marc-Andre Fleury - the No. 1 pick in the 2003 draft - to Wilkes-Barre/Scranton for the team's first AHL playoff game Thursday night.

Chris Higgins and Alex Kovalev each had two goals, and the Montreal Canadiens avoided a season sweep by the
Pittsburgh Penguins with a 6-5 win Sunday night.

The last thing the Pittsburgh Penguins wanted was to go to another shootout with the New York Islanders.

So Sidney Crosby made sure that didn't happen.

The star rookie scored with 1:32 to play in overtime to give the Penguins a 4-3 victory over New York on Friday night. The Islanders had won the last three meetings between the teams - each in a shootout.

GAME: Florida Panthers (32-30-9) at Pittsburgh Penguins (18-41-12).

TIME: Wednesday, 7:30 p.m. EST.

The Florida Panthers look to match their franchise-record winning streak at seven games, and continue their late push for a playoff berth when they visit a Pittsburgh Penguins team they've beaten 11 straight times.

Florida has moved to within striking distance of the final three playoff spots in the Eastern Conference by winning six straight and nine of its last 10 games.

Playing their fifth game in seven nights and coming off two emotional wins against their national rivals, the Montreal Canadiens were facing the classic "trap game" scenario against the team with the NHL's worst record.

But Montreal didn't fall for the trap, beating the Pittsburgh Penguins 6-5 on Sunday night to avoid being swept in the season series.

"We've got to be happy with the two points," forward Radek Bonk said.
