Murray 'an option' for Penguins, Fleury unavailable for Game 3

The Pittsburgh Penguins had three goalies on the ice at the team's optional skate Tuesday - none of which were incumbent Marc-Andre Fleury, who will miss his third straight game to begin the postseason.

Matt Murray, though, who hasn't dressed in the series versus the New York Rangers since suffering a head injury in the last game of the regular season, was seeing rubber.

His presence (and location during the skate) indicates he could start, but the starter in Games 1 and 2 Jeff Zatkoff, was first off the ice - a sign that typically means he'll go.

However, Penguins coach Mike Sullivan is continuing to keep his counterpart Alain Vigneault guessing, telling reporters that Murray is "an option" in Game 3.

Fleury is officially considered day to day.
