The Pittsburgh Penguins are making the hockey world hold its breath on their Game 6 starter.
Mike Sullivan said Monday that the decision between goaltenders Marc-Andre Fleury and Matt Murray will be announced Tuesday.
The coach continued on about his "imperfect" situation in net, saying, "We wish the circumstances were different, but they're not."
Fleury gave the Penguins a chance to win, but also showed rust in his first start in more than seven weeks in Sunday's 4-3 loss in Game 5. His performance, however, did not keep up to the standard Murray has maintained throughout his run in goal since Game 3 of the first round.
The 21-year-old Murray secured nine wins on a .923 save percentage in 13 playoff starts before being lifted for the veteran.
