1. In a bit of a surprise (apparently), Matt Murray skated with the Pens this morning, while Games 1-through-6 back-up Tristan Jarry did not.
Now, as good as Murray was this year and, memorably, in last year’s series between these two teams, the Pens obviously aren’t starting him over Marc-Andre Fleury in Game 7, and if the Caps do see him at some point, it’d probably be because Fleury struggled enough to be pulled. So, good for you, Matt Murray… hope to see you soon? (I know, be careful what you wish for…)
2. There are legacies on the line, y’all. Well, at least one…
And you know the history (both recent and ancient, relevant and wholly otherwise):
