The case for Matt Murray

TAMPA -- Pittsburgh Penguins coach Mike Sullivan described his goaltending situation as imperfect.

It won't get any easier.

With the Tampa Bay Lightning leading the best-of-seven Eastern Conference finals 3-2, Sullivan has another difficult decision to make heading into Game 6 on Tuesday (8 p.m. ET) at Amalie Arena.

Should the Penguins stay with Game 5 starter Marc-Andre Fleury, or go back with rookie netminder Matt Murray, who has been solid the entire postseason?

When teams reach this point of the postseason, it's only normal to focus on goaltending.
