Golden Knights reportedly will start Robin Lehner in Game 4 vs. Canadiens

The Vegas Golden Knights are reportedly turning to Robin Lehner in goal for Sunday's Game 4 against the Montreal Canadiens, according to ESPN's Emily Kaplan

Lehner was the first goaltender off the ice at Sunday's morning skate, which typically indicates who will start that night's game. Kaplan adds that the goalies were notified of the decision Saturday.

Lehner has played just four times in the last 50 days, and his only playoff start this season was hideous. He was in goal when Vegas lost 7-1 to the Colorado Avalanche in Game 1 of the second round,  allowing seven goals on 37 shots. 

Marc-Andre Fleury has been in the crease ever since, and he's been pretty solid. In 15 starts, he's 9-6 with a .921 save percentage and 1.97 goals against average. 

However, Fleury is coming off back-to-back losses, so it's no surprise Pete DeBoer is looking for a change. In Game 3, Fleury made a costly mistake, misplaying the puck behind the net, which led to a goal by Canadiens forward Josh Andersen to tie the game with less than two minutes remaining. Montreal went on to win 3-2 in overtime. 

The Canadiens lead the series 2-1 and will look to take a commanding 3-1 lead Sunday at Bell Centre.
