Penguins hoping to start season with Fleury and Murray

The NHL offseason comes quick, especially for the Stanley Cup champions.

Pittsburgh Penguins general manager Jim Rutherford is in a unique position this summer. He may have to decide between Marc-Andre Fleury, a fan favorite and rock-solid veteran, and Matt Murray, the wunderkind who just put together one of the best rookie postseasons in NHL history.

Though no one knows if Fleury will be dealt, he's already garnered attention from other teams, but Rutherford has no problem with keeping two reliable netminders in Pittsburgh's crease.

"Ideally, we'd like to start next year with both goalies, Fleury and Murray," Rutherford told ESPN's Pierre LeBrun. "But we have to look into some things. We have to, first of all, look into what the expansion guidelines are, and talk internally as to how all this works, if both goalies are here.

"We're very fortunate that we have two very good goalies; one a franchise goalie who's done a lot for the Penguins over the years and another up-and-coming young guy that just helped win a Stanley Cup. We have to look at the situation, but it's a good one to be in."

Fleury was enjoying a strong season before injuries derailed it, posting a 35-17-6 record with five shutouts, a 2.29 goals-against average, and a .921 save percentage.

Murray, on the other hand, has only played 13 career regular season games, winning nine of them. In the playoffs, he was 15-6 with a 2.08 GAA and a .923 save clip.
