With back-to-back home games tomorrow and Saturday, backup goaltender Brent Johnson will start for the Penguins tomorrow night against Florida, coach Dan Bylsma said today.

Johnson's only other start as a Penguin came Oct. 7 in the third game of the season. He made 24 saves in a 3-0 loss at home to Phoenix, but it was the team's worst performance.

No. 1 goaltender Marc-Andre Fleury is 8-0 and is expected to be in goal Saturday night against New Jersey.
