Mike Sullivan isn't tipping his hand just yet.

The Pittsburgh Penguins coach declined to reveal his starting goaltender for Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Final against the Ottawa Senators when asked about the decision Thursday.

Sullivan said he'll wait until Friday morning to announce whether Marc-Andre Fleury or Matt Murray gets the nod.

For what it's worth, Fleury had a net to himself at Thursday's practice.

Fleury was pulled in Game 3 on Wednesday after allowing four goals on nine shots in the first period.

Murray made his first appearance of the playoffs in relief, stopping 19 of the 20 shots he faced in the 5-1 loss.

Fleury, who had been solid in these playoffs before his Game 3 hiccup, took over the starting duties after Murray suffered an injury before the team's postseason opener.
