So according to Sullivan, starting Fleury in game five was primarily a chance to rest Murray, and this was communicated to both goalies beforehand.

“I think you guys always insinuate that, when someone doesn’t play, they get benched. That wasn’t the case at all. So sometimes I think you guys put words into our mouth that really is not our intention as the coaching staff. Matt played a lot of hockey. He played a lot of games. This is a battle you’re playing every other night. If it was the regular season, we probably wouldn’t play our starting goalie that many games in a row. As a young goaltender, sometimes that’s a tough load to carry. So we felt as though it was the right time for Marc, to give him an opportunity to get back in the game and try to win us a hockey game, and we were going to take it game by game, and we explained that to Matt, and we explained that to Marc.”

Even if that's not true, it's an excellent way to frame the narrative. Sullivan seems to be really good at seeing the story from the best possible angle, and it's working for him as a captaincy style imo.
