Murray To Start In Goal For Penguins Tonight

PITTSBURGH, PA - Despite two consecutive shaky outings, Penguins goalie Matt Murray will get the start in game five of the Stanley Cup Final on Thursday.

Murray has given up eight goals in the past two games, leading to speculation that Murray would be replaced by Mark-Andre Fleury. But Penguins coach Mike Sullivan said this morning he is sticking with Murray.

With the series tied at two games apiece, the Penguins and Nashville Predators play tonight at 8 p.m. at PPG Paints Arena. Thus far in the series, the home team has won every game.
