Penguins will start Murray over Fleury in tonight's Game 6 against Lightning

TAMPA, Fla. — Matt Murray will be the Penguins' goaltender for Game 6 of the Eastern Conference final tonight.

Coach Mike Sullivan confirmed his decision during a meeting with reporters after the Penguins' game-day skate at Amalie Arena.

In another move, Conor Sheary apparently will move back onto left wing on the No. 1 line, with Sidney Crosby and Patric Hornqvist. Beau Bennett had replaced Sheary in Game 5.

"Conor brings a lot of energy," Sullivan said.

Murray, a rookie, has started 13 of the Penguins' 16 playoff games but was replaced by Marc-Andre Fleury after two periods of a 4-3 defeat in Tampa last Friday.
