Nasreddine, who played 15 years of professional hockey as a defenseman, which includes five seasons with the Penguins organization, helped lead the team to a 58-21-0-1 record and the franchise’s first-ever Macgregor Kilpatrick Trophy as AHL regular-season champions in 2010-11. Nasreddine coached a defensive group that allowed the fewest goals (183) in the AHL. Nasreddine, 37, played for the Penguins organization from 2003-04 through the 2007-08 season. During that time he suited up in 56 games for Pittsburgh, notching five points (1G-4A). Nasreddine played in 249 contests for Wilkes-Barre/Scranton, totaling 55 points on 13 goals and 42 assists. He added seven points (3G-4A) in 57 postseason games, and helped the team earn two berths in the Calder Cup Final in 2003 and 2007. Nasreddine, who was originally drafted by Florida in the sixth round (135th overall) of the 1993 NHL Draft, played for four NHL teams in his career — Chicago, Montreal, NY Islanders and Pittsburgh — and posted five points (1G-4A) and 84 penalty minutes in 74 games.
