Murray allowed four goals on 25 shots in the Penguins win over the Golden Knights on Tuesday. Since returning to the Penguins crease, Murray is 3-0-0 with a 3.33 GAA and .900 SV%. The 23-year-old has not been nearly as good on the road as he has on home ice. Luckily for him he catches the Stars on the tail-end of a back-to-back, but they’ve been one of the best home teams in the NHL this season.

McCabe was hurt against Anaheim and did not return on Tuesday and will miss at least three games after undergoing thumb surgery this week. There’s no word how McCabe suffered the injury, but he recorded three blocked shots on Tuesday, so you have to think one of those shots did the damage.

McCabe left Tuesday’s game with an upper-body injury and did not return. The Sabres announced on Wednesday that he will be re-evaluated later today—making him questionable for Thursday’s game vs. the Islanders.

Murray allowed four goals on 33 shots in the Penguins win over the Capitals last Friday. He was given Saturday off, so look for him to be back in tonight vs. the Golden Knights. Murray has gone 2-0-0 while stopping 69 of 75 shots (.920 SV%) since returning to the Penguins’ crease. He will go head-to-head with his former teammate Marc-Andre Fleury.

Murray stopped 40 of 42 shots in the Penguins win over the Sharks on Tuesday. It was an exceptional return to the crease for Murray, who is now 10-4-1 with a 2.61 GAA and .921 SV% at the PPG Paints Arena this season. Tonight he will face the Capitals for the third time this season—he is 1-1-0 with a 2.51 GAA and .904 SV% in the first two meetings.

Murray stopped all six shots he faced in relief to earn an overtime win vs. the Bruins on January 7th. He has been either sidelined with a personal matter or serving as Casey DeSmith’s backup ever since, but will return to the cage tonight vs. the Sharks. It has been a difficult month for Murray, but he will try and return to hockey tonight on home ice, where he is 9-4-1 with a 2.65 GAA and .918 SV% this season.

Rielly will miss his second straight game with an upper-body injury, so Connor Carrick and Jake Gardiner will continue to patrol the Maple Leafs’ power-play units. Rielly remains day-to-day and questionable for Wednesday’s game in Chicago.

Murray has missed the last five games while he was attending to a family matter in Ontario but was back at practice on Monday, which suggests that he could be available to start Tuesday’s game vs. the Hurricanes.

Muzzin has missed the last three games with an undisclosed injury but he took a regular rotation at even strength and on the power-play in Wednesday’s practice, so look for him to play tomorrow. Muzzin has had a nice year, picking up 23 points (3G / 20A), 90 shots and 80 blocked shots in 41 games.

Murray missed two games to attend to a family matter before joining his team on their Californian road-trip. It seemed like Murray was on-pace to start Wednesday’s game but his dad passed away so Murray will return home for an indefinite period of time.

Shaw was a healthy scratch in Los Angeles on Saturday and was placed on waivers on Sunday after the Ducks claimed J.T. Brown from the Lightning. Shaw has just two goals and six assists (eight points) in 42 games with the Ducks.

Murray missed the Penguins back-to-back on the weekend while he was dealing with a family matter. Murray will travel to California and will likely start one of the back-to-back games on Wednesday (in Anaheim) or Thursday (in Los Angeles).
