Murray was called up by Nashville on Thursday, per Nick Kieser of Lower Broad Hockey.
EDGE Analysis
Murray has a 2.72 GAA and a .908 save percentage in 37 outings with AHL Milwaukee in 2025-26. He hasn't played in the NHL yet this campaign. It remains to be seen why Murray was called up. Juuse Saros and Justus Annunen are both currently listed as being healthy, but if either of them is dealing with something, then Murray would presumably serve as the backup goaltender for Thursday's game against Seattle.

Murray posted a 32-save shutout in AHL Milwaukee's 4-0 win over Manitoba on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Murray collected his third shutout of the season and the 12th of his AHL career. The strong performance improved his record to 17-17-2 with a 2.72 GAA and a .908 save percentage through 37 appearances. Murray has won his last three outings and remains next in line if the Predators need goaltending depth in the NHL.

Murray was recalled from AHL Milwaukee on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
The Predators have resumed practicing during the final week of the Olympic break, and Murray's recall will allow him to serve as the team's goaltender during practice until Juuse Saros returns from the Olympics. However, Murray will presumably head back to the Admirals ahead of Nashville's game against Chicago on Feb. 26. Over 29 appearances with Milwaukee this year, Murray has gone 12-14-2 with a 2.86 GAA and .904 save percentage.

Murray posted a 29-save shutout in AHL Milwaukee's 3-0 win over Iowa on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Murray has two shutouts this season, which he's opened by going 9-1-2 in 12 games. He's added a 1.98 GAA and a .936 save percentage. The Predators don't currently have a need for Murray at the NHL level, but he'll get the call if Juuse Saros or Justus Annunen get hurt.

Murray posted a 24-save shutout in AHL Milwaukee's 2-0 win over Rockford on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Murray has his first shutout of the year and the 10th of his AHL career. He's been spectacular for the Admirals with a 5-0-2 record, a 1.96 GAA and a .931 save percentage over seven outings this season. He'll be the next man up in Nashville should anything cause an absence for Juuse Saros or Justus Annunen.

Murray was placed on waivers by the Predators on Monday, James Mirtle of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Murray signed a two-year, two-way contract with the Predators in April, but he'll be left off the team's Opening Night roster ahead of the 2025-26 campaign. He's made just four regular-season appearances in the NHL and will likely spend most, or all, of this year with AHL Milwaukee.

Murray agreed to terms on a two-year, two-way contract with Nashville on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Murray has put together a solid campaign with AHL Milwaukee this year, going 25-10-5 with a .930 save percentage and 2.15 GAA in 40 appearances for the Admirals. Despite his decent numbers with the Admirals, the 27-year-old backstop has been unable to break into the NHL with the Predators this year. Given the two-way nature of his deal, Murray is unlikely to be anything more than an emergency depth option for the Preds moving forward.

Murray was recalled as a practice player by the Predators on Tuesday, Emma Lingan of The Hockey News reports.
EDGE Analysis
Murray will be on the roster temporarily while Juuse Saros makes his way back from the 4 Nations Face-Off. In his 27 appearances for AHL Milwaukee this year, the 27-year-old Murray is 17-7-3 with a .930 save percentage and a 2.19 GAA. Murray will head back to the minors once Saros rejoins the team.

Murray was reassigned to AHL Milwaukee on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Juuse Saros (illness) is good to start Saturday in Pittsburgh, so Murray's presence on the roster is no longer needed. Justus Annunen will serve as Saros' understudy. The 26-year-old Murray has a 2.31 GAA and a .927 save percentage in 23 minor-league outings in 2024-25.
