Goalie Start
Sorokin is expected to start Game 5 in Pittsburgh.

Romanov will be a surprise scratch for Game 1 of the postseason, as the Canadiens go with Jon Merrill on the third pairing. In addition to Romanov, Jesperi Kotkaniemi and Cole Caufield will both be scratched as well.
Head coach Barry Trotz would not commit to a starting goalie for Game 2, only saying that a "Russian" will be in net. Ilya Sorokin was in the starter's crease at the morning skate, suggesting that he will start again but tune in for warmups to find out for sure.
Barzal was scratched on Tuesday but will play Thursday vs. the Devils. Barzal has struggled over the last month, scoring just two goals with five assists (seven points) in his last 14 games.
