Murray made 43 saves in a 2-0 loss to Pittsburgh on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

He was outstanding in his first game against his former squad. The only goal Murray allowed came in the second when Kris Letang pounced on a turnover at the blue line and fed Jeff Carter in the slot, who fired a one-timer shelf over the netminder's blocker. Murray has allowed two goals or fewer in each of his past five starts, and has been the difference maker for a young Sens squad. He's an underrated, second-half option in the blue paint -- this team has nothing to lose and plenty to prove, and that will be hard for most teams to manage.
