The Pittsburgh Penguins are keeping everyone - including the New York Rangers - on a need-to-know basis.
After Wednesday's Game 1 win behind 35 saves from surprise starter Jeff Zatkoff, coach Mike Sullivan was mum on the status of the incumbent Marc-Andre Fleury and his continuing recovery from a concussion.
"When we decide to put Marc-Andre in game, we'll let you know," he said.
Sullivan, though, wasn't always this transparent.
Machinating at the morning skate, Sullivan revealed that he deliberately sent Fleury - who didn't dress - off the ice first to make it appear as though he was starting, in turn preventing the Rangers from game-planning for the third-string netminder.
Zatkoff told reporters afterwards he knew the crease was his as early as Tuesday night.
