PITTSBURGH -- The playoffs are just starting for the Pittsburgh Penguins and already it is not going as well as they would like.

With injured goalie Marc-Andre Fleury still not quite ready to play, the Penguins will start backup Jeff Zatkoff in Game 1 of their quarterfinal matchup against the New York Rangers.

Fleury has been out since March 31 with a concussion, and Pittsburgh's prize young goalie Matt Murray was injured Saturday night when he was struck.

Fleury, who has practiced for three days, has missed 13 games this season with two different concussions. 

Zatkoff has played 14 games this season, and is 4-7-1.
