The Pittsburgh Penguins will look to even their Eastern Conference finals matchup with the Tampa Bay Lightning on Monday night, and they'll do so with Matt Murray in goal.
Head coach Mike Sullivan confirmed Murray will start, putting rumors of Marc-Andre Fleury's return to rest.
Murray allowed three goals in the Game 1 loss, but his fortitude has gained the trust of his head coach.
"He was a maturity level beyond his years and responds to adversity really well," Sullivan said.
The Penguins haven't lost consecutive contests since mid-January and will look to continue the streak in Game 2.
