Pens' Fleury To Start Game 5

PITTSBURGH (KDKA) -- After being out for a few weeks, Pittsburgh Penguins goaltender Marc-Andre Fleury will return to the net Sunday night for Game 5.

Pens coach Mike Sullivan announced Sunday morning that Marc-Andre Fleury would start in the net for Game 5 against the Tampa Bay Lightning.

Fleury was out for seven weeks after sustaining a concussion during a game on March 31. Goaltender Matt Murray took his place in the net until partway through Game 4 of the Eastern Conference finals on Friday, when Fleury returned to the ice and stopped all seven shots taken during the third period.
