There have been many milestones for Pittsburgh Penguins’ players this season, and that tends to happen when there are four potential future hall-of-famers on one roster.
But, on Tuesday, their general manager and president of hockey operations hit one of his own.

Penguins GM and POHO Kyle Dubas reached his 600th career game as an NHL GM on Tuesday when the Penguins played the Carolina Hurricanes in Raleigh. Dubas is in the midst of his third season with the Penguins, while he spent five seasons as the GM of the Toronto Maple Leafs after being with the Leafs’ organization for four years prior to his GM hire.
The 40-year-old Dubas has drawn the attention of many this season, as his drafting, offseason additions, and in-season acquisitions have helped Pittsburgh to second in the Metropolitan Division in a season where many expected his team to be in contention for a lottery pick. One of those additions is new head coach Dan Muse and his staff, who have managed to produce successful results with the Penguins’ mix of veterans and young players.
If the Penguins do indeed make the playoffs, there are many who believe that Dubas will contend for GM of the Year.
