One of the biggest games of Murray's career. Not necessarily for the team, but for him personally.

Murray starts and I expect some form of a bounce back game. He should hold the Wings to under 2 goals.

I haven’t done any research, but I feel like the Pens have played terrible against Detroit for the last 2-3ish years.

Basically a "no-win" situation for MM:
If he wins, people will say it proves absolutely nothing because Detroit is the worst team in the NHL and his next start will be the one where he's under the microscope again.
But if he loses people will be talking like he's one small step away from swapping places with Casey DeSmith in WBS.
So yeah, no pressure tonight.
Fortunately Murray has responded well to challenges in the past and it's likely he will this time too, unless (like early last year) he's playing through an injury.
Just to let everyone know I won't be able to watch the game. This means that the Penguins will 100% lose. I'll check score and wings will be up 6-2 somehow. Never have I ever been able to check game and pens were winning.

If you look at last night, we didn't look good but our goalie stole the show...so if that happens again tonight and we rely on the goalie we hope he's ready to do the same.

I wouldn't go that far as to say he would get sent to WBS. That would never happen and he would get picked up on waivers in an instant. I hope Murray has a bounce back game but even if he doesn't it is not as hyperbolic as you present.
Also even if Murray play lights out I still start Jarry more until either Jarry cools off and or Murray strings together several top performances. Here's to hoping they both play lights out and Pens have the best goaltending in the league from this point forward. If Jarry keeps playing well he will earn more time regardless and Murray would need to win the Cup this year to pull off a top tier contract. I hope he does because I will take another Cup!
I am super pumped thar Rutherford knows his goaltending and didn't trade Jarry during the preseason. Obviously Rutherford knows what he has and loves goaltending depth more than any GM. I think Rutherford keeps both until the expansion draft and will make his decision then on who to keep.

Honestly this is the perfect game to have on the tail end of a back to back, where we can put Murray back in net. The team needs to continue to play hard and not come in to this without any respect for Detroit. This month we need to collect as many points as possible from the weaker teams we play. No excuse to lose tonight, especially after how well we play the last couple of games.
