Murphy recorded an assist in Friday's 5-2 loss to the Lightning.

EDGE Analysis

Murphy's first point of the year came on a Patrick Kane goal at 16:11 of the second period. The 27-year-old Murphy is seeing roughly 20 minutes per game as a top-pairing defenseman, but he'll likely be more oriented toward defensive duties. His career high in points is the 19 he produced in 58 appearances last season, but he also racked up 128 hits and 138 blocked shots.

Murphy notched an assist, three hits and two blocked shots in Tuesday's 4-3 loss to Vegas in Game 5.

EDGE Analysis

Murphy hadn't been participating in practice recently because of the groin issue, but he wouldn't be int he lineup if the medical staff felt it was still a problem. Barring a setback of some kind in the next couple of days, Murphy should be available for the start of the best-of-five series versus the Oilers on tap.

EDGE Analysis

Murphy is dealing with a groin injury, Ben Pope of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Murphy has been skating with a small group of teammates over the past few days, but he still hasn't fully recovered from his groin tweak. The Blackhawks are still over a week away from Game 1 of their qualifying round matchup with Edmonton, so as long as he doesn't suffer any setbacks, Murphy should have plenty of time to get back to 100 percent before postseason play gets underway.

EDGE Analysis

Thursday marked the third straight day Murphy has skated after missing a handful of practices, so he appears to be on track to be ready for Chicago's qualifying round matchup with the Oilers. The American blueliner will occupy a top-four role against Edmonton.

Murphy (undisclosed) didn't participate in Friday's practice, Mark Lazerus of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Murphy was deemed "unfit to participate" ahead of Friday's on-ice session, but after being a full participant in the first four days of training camp, it's possible he was simply given the day off. Another update on the 27-year-old blueliner should be released once he's able to rejoin his teammates on the ice.

Murphy scored his fifth goal of the year and had five shots in Tuesday's 6-5 loss to St. Louis. He also had two PIM.

EDGE Analysis

Murphy scored with just over five minutes left in the first period to give the Blackhawks a 2-1 lead. It was his first goal since way back on Jan. 2 and halted a 20-game drought for the 26-year-old. Despite that lengthy skid, Murphy's fifth goals on the season are one shy of matching the career-high six he put up with Arizona in 2015-16. Tuesday's goal was also his 18th point of the year, a new personal high.
