Goalie Matt Murray will start for the Pittsburgh Penguins against the Tampa Bay Lightning in Game 6 of the Eastern Conference Final on Tuesday (8 p.m. ET; NBCSN, CBC, TVA Sports).

The Penguins trail the best-of-7 series 3-2.

After starting 13 straight games, Murray was the backup to Marc-Andre Fleury in Game 5 on Sunday. It was Fleury's first start since he sustained his second concussion of the season on March 31. He made 21 saves in a 4-3 loss, but allowed four goals on the last 14 shots he faced.

Sullivan said he chose Murray as the starter for Game 6 because he believes Murray gives them a better chance to win than Fleury, who clearly seemed to be affected by the seven weeks he went without a start.

"At this particular point in the season we don't have the luxury of allowing players to play through things," Sullivan said. "We have to win a game. We have to win a hockey game. That's how we looked at it."
