UNIONDALE, N.Y. -- As expected, Brian Dumoulin and Zach Aston-Reese remain game-time decisions for tonight's Game 1 against the Islanders.
The Penguins held an optional skate -- minus Dumoulin, Olli Maatta, Justin Schultz, Kris Letang, Phil Kessel, and Sidney Crosby. So, there were no clues as to possible line combinations or pairings.
Matt Murray and Robin Lehner will get the starts.
TAYLOR'S VIEW
Someone asked me in my Live Qs the other day who I'd have come out when Dumoulin and Aston-Reese are healthy, and I'm sticking with what I said then: Jack Johnson on defense, and Aston-Reese still sits at forward ... for now.
