Breaking: Penguins coach responds to goaltending controversy in Pittsburgh.

The Pittsburgh Penguins began the series with a 2-0 lead, but after a two-game trip to Nashville they now once again find themselves tied with the Predators, effectively turning this into a best of 3.

Some of the criticism for the Game 4 loss at the hands of the Predators has fallen on rookie goaltender Matt Murray, and rightfully so or not, it's understandable given how well Marc-Andre Fleury had played previously during the playoffs.

This has resulted in somewhat of a goaltending controversy in Pittsburgh, with some fans openly wondering if Fleury's body of work this postseason has not earned him another shot at taking over the Penguins net. That being said it doesn't sound like head coach Mike Sullivan is of the same opinion at all.

"We haven't lost games because of our goaltending," said Sullivan. "That's my thought."

While Sullivan often plays things close to the vest, it doesn't sounds like he plans on making a change for Game 5 of the Cup Final.
