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.

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.
