The Pittsburgh Penguins have been forced to turn to goaltender Jeff Zatkoff to start Game 1 against the New York Rangers on Wednesday.

Marc-Andre Fleury and Matt Murray are not dressed due to injuries. Tristan Jarry will back up Zatkoff.

Fleury was a game-time decision heading into Wednesday and had been the first goalie off the ice at team's morning skate, while Jarry was absent at the skate.

The 31-year-old Fleury has not played since March 31 after suffering his second concussion of the season.

The game marks Zatkoff's first postseason appearance.
