Fleury yanked from Game 3 in Ottawa after allowing 4 goals in less than 13 minutes

OTTAWA, Ontario — Penguins goaltender Marc-Andre Fleury was pulled from Game 3 of the Eastern Conference final on Wednesday after allowing four goals on nine shots in 12:52, with the Penguins trailing the Senators, 4-0, at Canadian Tire Centre.

Matt Murray replaced Fleury in goal, making his 2017 playoff debut. Murray re-aggravated a lower-body injury during warmup before Game 1 of the Eastern Conference quarterfinals against Columbus, ceding his spot to Fleury, who had stopped 85 of his last 87 shots before Wednesday.

Mike Hoffman, Marc Methot, Derick Brassard and Zack Smith got the goals for Ottawa, the first two on fortuitous bounces, the second two on lapses in the defensive zone.
