PITTSBURGH — The Pittsburgh Penguins and Tampa Bay Lightning embark on what is now a best-of-three series, with the first team to come up with two wins advancing to the Stanley Cup finals. Game 5 is at Consol Energy Center on Sunday at 8 p.m. ET. Here’s what to watch for:

Penguins coach Mike Sullivan confirmed Sunday morning that veteran Marc-Andre Fleury will get his first start since suffering a concussion on March 31. Fleury came on in relief of Matt Murray in the third period of Game 4 and did not allow a goal on seven shots. Murray, 21, has been rock solid all spring since coming in for Jeff Zatkoff in Game 3 of the opening round of the playoffs. He has a 9-4 record and .923 save percentage. Fleury has been game-ready since Game 3 of the last series against the Washington Capitals, and no doubt his sharpness in Game 4 and his veteran savvy was a contributing factor in Sullivan’s decision to give him the nod in a crucial Game 5. The Pens trailed 4-0 when Fleury came on in relief and closed the gap to 4-3 behind Fleury. “It’s an important decision for our hockey team,” Sullivan said of the goaltending change, also adding some high praise for Murray. “Matt’s great. He’s a very composed kid. He’s played extremely well for this team, as has Marc.”
