The Pittsburgh Penguins will be starting goaltender Louis Domingue for Thursday's Game 2 against the New York Rangers while Casey DeSmith has been ruled out, the team announced.

Louis Domingue will start Game 2. "He’s confident," Sullivan said. "He has a little swagger to him. I think that serves him well.”

When asked if Tristan Jarry or Casey DeSmith could be available for Game 3, Sullivan said they're not thinking that far ahead right now.

Coach Sullivan: "Rakell and DeSmith are day-to-day and will not play tonight. Zucker will be a game-time decision."
