In the Penguins' 5-1 loss to the Rangers in Game 5 Friday night, Pittsburgh goalie Marc-Andre Fleury ''showed his first real kinks of the series,'' writes Pittsburgh Tribune-Review writer Dejan Kovacevic.
He adds: ''Too many big rebounds and far too much air under the Ryan McDonagh floater for the fourth New York goal.'' Fleury was coming off his best stretch of the post-season, having shut out the Rangers twice. The Pens lead the best-of-seven series 3-2. Fleury is 7-4 in the post-season, with a .918 save percentage and a 2.37 GAA.

To the surprise of no one, Marc-Andre Fleury has been named the Penguins' starter for Game 4 on Wednesday.
It will be his fourth start in six days, but he'll be playing against a Rangers team that's even more tired. Fleury shutout the Rangers in Games 2 and 3, which puts the pressure on New York to win tonight or come within one game of elimination.

The series is tied 1-1, with Game 3 on Monday night.

Marc-Andre Fleury will play between the pipes on Friday.
Not that there was any doubt. Tomas Vokoun wasn't able to play in the NHL during the regular season and Jeff Zatkoff doesn't have much experience, so the Penguins don't really have a safety net should Fleury falter.
