The Pittsburgh Penguins are sticking with Matt Murray.
The rookie goaltender had a Game 5 to forget against the Washington Capitals, allowing three goals on only 19 shots, but he'll be in the crease Tuesday in Game 6, head coach Mike Sullivan announced.
Marc-Andre Fleury is healthy, but he hasn't played in over a month.
Meanwhile, defenseman Olli Maatta, who was injured in Game 2, could return to the lineup Tuesday.
Coach Sullivan says that Olli Maatta had a good practice today and will be a game-time decision.

Capitals defenseman Brooks Orpik was suspended three games for a hit to Maatta's head, and he'll be back Tuesday after watching from the press box.
