It appears that Fleury may be in Bylsma's doghouse early in the year. I saw some discussion here about maybe starting Johnson at home Friday against the Islanders and then going back to Fleury Saturday in Philly.
According to the Post-Gazette there is a real chance that Johnson may get both starts.....
"Penguins coach Dan Bylsma said backup goaltender Brent Johnson will start Friday night at home against the New York Islanders, but he would not commit to going back to No. 1 goalie Marc-Andre Fleury for Saturday's game at Philadelphia.
The Penguins are playing three games in four nights, so it is not unusual for Johnson to get a start, but he has fared better in his one game, a 3-1 win Monday at New Jersey with 31 saves, than Fleury has in the Penguins' other games.
Fleury is 0-3 with a 3.41 goals-against average and an .853 save percentage."
Now maybe this is just Bylsma trying to get Fleury's attention and wake him up....I don't know....I still see Marc Andre starting Saturday in Philly...
