Matt Murray is expected to get the start for the Pittsburgh Penguins on Tuesday night, and that really should not be much of a surprise.
The Penguins have been off since Saturday, are rested, and are playing at home against a white hot divisional opponent that is riding a 14-game point streak entering the night (13-0-1 during that streak). It is the exact type of game you want your starting goalie to be playing in.
So there really is no issue here with that decision.
What stands out, though, is that the this will be the Penguins’ 21st game of the season and it will already be Murray’s 17th start.
