Matt Murray News
With both Anton Forsberg and Filip Gustavsson in COVID-19 protocol, Murray returns to the Senators and will likely start at least one of their back-to-back games later this week. Murray was 1-1-0 while stopping 56 of 61 shots (.918 SV%) in two AHL games.
Murray is now one of eight players on the COVID-19 reserve list for the Senators. With Murray out, Filip Gustavsson is expected to start with Anton Forsberg backing him up.
Murray is working his way back from a head/neck injury that he suffered on October 23rd vs. the Rangers. It looks likely that Murray will start one of the Senators' back-to-back games on Monday or Tuesday. I would bet Filip Gustavsson will start Monday and Murray goes Tuesday in Minnesota to give him an extra day of recovery.
Murray was hurt late in Saturday's game vs. the Rangers in a collision with Chris Kreider. Murray was removed and Anton Forsberg finished the game for the Senators. Look for Forsberg and Filip Gustavsson to man the Senators net moving forward.
