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.

Murray was promoted from AHL Milwaukee on Friday, Alex Daugherty of The Tennessean reports.
EDGE Analysis
Murray will fill the backup role behind Justus Annunen on Friday versus the Sabres, as Juuse Saros (illness) is unavailable. Once Saros is feeling well enough to play, Murray will likely return to Milwaukee.

Murray was returned to AHL Milwaukee on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
The Predators required a back up for Scott Wedgewood on Wednesday as Juuse Saros was unable to dress due to a lower-body injury. The Predators play Saturday in Detroit and if Saros is still unable to play, look for Murray to be recalled once again.

Murray was recalled from AHL Milwaukee on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Murray was sent to the AHL in late September, but he'll rejoin the Predators ahead of Opening Night against Dallas on Thursday. However, it seems unlikely that he'll see much, if any, time in net for the NHL club early in the season.

Murray was waived Sunday for assignment to AHL Milwaukee, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports.
EDGE Analysis
Murray was a longshot to make the Preds' opening-night roster behind Juuse Saros and Scott Wedgewood. The 26-year-old netminder figures to spend most of the 2024-25 campaign with AHL Milwaukee as an insurance option in goal.

Murray will defend the road net in preseason action against Florida on Sunday afternoon, according to Doug Plagens of the Panthers Radio Network.
EDGE Analysis
Murray posted a 23-save shutout win versus Minnesota on Jan. 8 during his lone appearance with Dallas last campaign. In 31 regular-season contests for AHL Texas in 2023-24, he posted a 14-15-2 record with a 3.02 GAA and an .896 save percentage. He will likely start 2024-25 in the minors.

Murray signed a one-year, two-way deal with the Predators on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Murray is buried on the goalie depth chart in Nashville and should spend the 2024-25 campaign with AHL Milwaukee, barring any injuries. He posted a lackluster 3.02 GAA and .896 save percentage in 31 games with AHL Texas last season. The 26-year-old has made four career NHL appearances.
