EDGE Analysis
Murray has been out of action all season after undergoing bilateral hip surgery in October. He can remain at the AHL level for up three games and six days. Murray's expected to see his first game action of the year with the Marlies, who are set to play Saturday at Syracuse and Wednesday in Rochester. He will become an unrestricted agent in the summer.

Murray (hip) faced shots before practice Friday, marking the first time he's fielded shots since undergoing bilateral hip surgery in October, according to Terry Koshan of The Toronto Sun.
EDGE Analysis
Murray is not close to a return, but this was nonetheless an important step in his recovery. Murray is on long-term injured reserve and is not expected to return this season. He's in the final season of his four-year, $25 million contract.

Murray is expected to be sidelined for a minimum of 6-8 months after undergoing successful bilateral hip surgery Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Murray posted a 14-8-2 record last season with a 3.01 GAA and a .903 save percentage in 26 games. The Maple Leafs announced this past summer that the 29-year-old netminder would start the 2023-24 campaign on long-term injured reserve. At the start of training camp, general manager Brad Treliving said that Murray was going to need "significant surgery," but didn't elaborate on the situation at the time. Joseph Woll will go into the upcoming season as Toronto's backup goalie behind Ilya Samsonov.

Murray (undisclosed) needs "significant surgery," Maple Leafs general manager Brad Treliving told Lance Hornby of The Toronto Sun on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
There's no timetable for Murray's return, but he's already on the long-term injured reserve list. He had a 14-8-2 record, 3.01 GAA and .903 save percentage in 26 contests in 2022-23. With Murray unavailable, Joseph Woll is projected to enter the campaign as Ilya Samsonov's backup.

Murray (undisclosed) is considered out indefinitely and was placed on the long-term injured reserve list by Toronto on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Toronto didn't specify the reason for moving Murray to the long-term injured reserve list. He didn't play past April 2 because of a concussion, but he was the Maple Leafs' third goaltender for a playoff contest against Florida on May 7, which suggests that he was at least considered an emergency option at that time. The goaltender also missed a significant stretch of the 2022-23 campaign due to an ankle injury. If Murray isn't available going forward, then Joseph Woll is likely to serve as Ilya Samsonov's backup in 2023-24.

Murray (concussion) was Toronto's third goalie Sunday against Florida, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports.
EDGE Analysis
Murray hasn't appeared in a game since April 2 after suffering a concussion. Whether or not he's 100 percent healthy remains to be seen, but he was available as the third goalie Sunday after Ilya Samsonov (undisclosed) left the game. If Samsonov misses any time, Murray will likely dress as Joseph Woll's backup.

Murray (concussion) practiced Monday but isn't ready to return to the lineup yet, David Alter of Sports Illustrated reports.
EDGE Analysis
Murray, who last played April 2, is slated to be Toronto's third goaltender at practice sessions for now. He won't travel with the Leafs until he receives clearance, so a return to the lineup may not come until the later games of Toronto's second-round series against Florida. Ilya Samsonov will continue to be backed up by Joseph Woll until Murray is healthy.

Murray (concussion) remains out of the lineup for Thursday's Game 2 versus the Lightning, David Alter of Sports Illustrated reports.
EDGE Analysis
Murray hasn't played since April 2, and while he's started skating, his return isn't imminent. Ilya Samsonov and Joseph Woll continue to handle the goaltending duties in the first round of the playoffs.

Murray (concussion) has started to skate in the last couple of days, according to coach Sheldon Keefe, TSN's Chris Johnston reports.
EDGE Analysis
Murray was injured April 2 versus Detroit and missed the final six games of the season. He's unlikely to dress for Game 1 of the playoffs Tuesday, as Ilya Samsonov is expected to get the start with Joseph Woll as his backup. Murray ended the season with a 14-8-2 record, to go with a 3.01 GAA and .903 save percentage. Consider him day-to-day at this time.

Murray (head) is still day-to-day and won't travel with the Leafs for the start of the team's three-game road trip Monday in Florida, Mark Masters of TSN reports.
EDGE Analysis
Head coach Sheldon Keefe said Sunday that Murray's status hasn't changed. It's unclear at this time who will be available to serve as Ilya Samsonov's backup. Toronto plays against Florida on Monday prior to visiting Tampa Bay on Tuesday.
