Embarrassment of riches in net doesn't bother Sullivan

COLUMBUS, Ohio — Baseball people love to say there’s no such thing as too much starting pitching. Similarly, Ben Roethlisberger wouldn’t complain about having to keep four or five skilled receivers happy.

Penguins coach Mike Sullivan can relate. For him, it’s having to manage two elite goaltenders.

Whether it’s Matt Murray or Marc-Andre Fleury starting is a question Sullivan knows he’ll get a lot this season. When the subject was broached Monday, Sullivan smiled and joked, “How did I know that was coming?” Probably because he’s been asked, will continue to get asked and will play the matchup game unless general manager Jim Rutherford receives an offer he can’t refuse for Fleury.
