Marc-Andre Fleury will not make his return tonight in New York. He remains “day-to-day,” according to Penguins coach Mike Sullivan.
It remains to be seen who will be in goal for Pittsburgh against the Rangers.
Jeff Zatkoff -- the starter in Games 1 and 2 -- was the first goalie off the ice this morning, which would typically identify him as the starter.
But rookie Matt Murray reportedly “worked in the starter’s net” during the game-day skate, after which Sullivan said that Murray was an “option” for tonight.
As for defenseman Olli Maatta, it does not sound like he’ll be a healthy scratch for Game 3.
“We believe in him,” said Sullivan. “We know he’s a good player. When you play that many minutes, you are going to make mistakes out there.”
Maatta had a tough outing Saturday in the Penguins’ 4-2 loss, and there was speculation he could be sitting tonight.
Maatta was among the first six defensemen off the ice. Schultz and Pouliot still on for extra work.
