Penguins remove G Murray after second period

TAMPA, Fla. -- The Pittsburgh Penguins pulled goalie Matthew Murray after two periods on Friday night with the Tampa Bay Lightning leading 4-0 in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference finals.

Murray, who had played every minute for Pittsburgh in the playoffs since Game 3 of the opening round, was replaced in the final period by Marc-Andre Fleury, who saw his first action since March.

Pittsburgh started Jeff Zatkoff in the first two games of the playoffs before turning to the 21-year-old Murray.

The Lightning-Penguins series will continue Sunday in Pittsburgh before returning to Tampa on Tuesday night.
