Dan Muse confirmed Stuart Skinner will start -- a rare (but not the first) deviation from their usual back-and-forth rotation, and especially interesting given that this is the first half of a back-to-back and the goaltenders typically split those, and tomorrow the Penguins are in Skinner's hometown against his former team.
I asked Muse about the decision to deviate from the rotation, and he said, "both guys have been playing really well. With Stu, just based off of his play, his record coming off of the break, we decided we're going into the front end of a back-to-back and felt like he earned that right."
