TAMPA, Fla. -- The Pittsburgh Penguins will go back to rookie netminder Matt Murray with their season on the line in Game 6 of the Eastern Conference Finals on Tuesday night at Amalie Arena.
The Penguins trail the Tampa Bay Lightning 3-2 in the best-of-seven conference finals series, having lost Game 5 in Pittsburgh 4-3 in overtime. Veteran netminder Marc-Andre Fleury started that game, his first start since suffering a concussion on March 31. He looked sharp early on but admitted after the game to having felt rusty, and he looked shaky in the third period when the Lightning tied the game before ultimately winning 53 seconds into overtime on a Tyler Johnson deflection.
