Murray was promoted from AHL Texas on Tuesday, Stars' radio analyst Bruce LeVine reports.
EDGE Analysis
Murray was sent to the minors Monday in a paper transaction to save the Stars some cap space, but he was always expected to be back with the big club ahead of Tuesday's matchup with Montreal. Murray will back up Scott Wedgewood against the Canadiens.

Murray was loaned to AHL Texas on Monday, per Lia Assimakopoulos of The Dallas Morning News, in what is expected to be a temporary move.
EDGE Analysis
It's believed that Murray's shift off the NHL roster is for salary cap reasons. Jake Oettinger (lower body) has been skating, but he isn't ready to return to the lineup yet. Murray will probably serve as Scott Wedgewood's backup again in Tuesday's contest against the Kings.

Murray was brought up from AHL Texas on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
The Stars had Joe O'Brien, who agreed to an amateur tryout agreement with the team, serve as Scott Wedgewood's backup in Saturday's 4-3 overtime loss to St. Louis. O'Brien was released Sunday, so Dallas was able to add Murray under the roster emergency exception rule ahead of Monday's matchup against Seattle. Murray has posted a 1-2-0 record with a 3.39 GAA and an .844 save percentage in three NHL starts with the Stars last season. His presence with the big club probably means that Jake Oettinger (lower body) isn't ready to return yet.

Murray agreed to a one-year, two-way contract with Dallas on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Murray had a 2.37 GAA and a .911 save percentage in 34 AHL contests with Texas in 2022-23. He also posted a 1-2-0 record, 3.39 GAA and .844 save percentage in three outings with Dallas. With Jake Oettinger and Scott Wedgewood likely to occupy the starting and backup spots, respectively, in Dallas, Murray is projected to start the 2023-24 campaign in the minors.

Murray made 21 saves in a 3-1 loss to Vancouver on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Dakota Joshua scored a shorthanded goal on a 2-on-1 break late in the first. Brock Boeser netted a goal early in the second on a give-and-go, and Jack Rathbone scored on a one-timer form the high slot less than two minutes later. Murray has made three starts this season, all this month. He has lost two straight to the Orcas, surrendering eight goals in that span. He won his debut against the Hawks at the start of March. The Stars' net belongs to Jake Oettinger, and Murray is unlikely to get many more starts this season.

Murray is expected to start at home versus Vancouver on Saturday, according to Bruce LeVine of Dallas Hockey Now.
EDGE Analysis
Murray, who was recalled from AHL Texas on Friday, stopped just 14 of 19 shots in a 5-2 loss to the Canucks on March 14, so this is a chance for him to get revenge. At the AHL level, he's posted a 2.27 GAA and a .913 save percentage in 31 contests with Texas this season. Vancouver has the 11th-ranked offense with 3.35 goals per game in 2022-23.

Murray was recalled from AHL Texas on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
The Stars sent Remi Poirier down to the AHL in a corresponding move. Murray has a pair of starts at the NHL level this season, defeating Chicago 5-2 three weeks ago, and then dropping a 5-2 decision in Vancouver, stopping 14 shots on March 14.

Murray was reassigned to AHL Texas on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Murray figures to step into the starting role for AHL Texas as they square off with AHL Coachella on Tuesday and Wednesday. Murray has played in just two games for Dallas this season in which he went 1-1-0 with a 3.53 GAA and .825 save percentage. In a corresponding move, Remi Poirier was brought up from the minors to likely serve as the backup to Jake Oettinger against the Kraken on Tuesday.

Murray allowed five goals on 19 shots in Tuesday's 5-2 loss to the Canucks.
EDGE Analysis
The Stars didn't have their legs for the second half of a back-to-back, and Murray wasn't sharp enough to keep things close. The 25-year-old is now 1-1-0 with seven goals allowed on 40 shots across his two NHL appearances. Scott Wedgewood (lower body) resumed skating Tuesday, so Murray's time with the big club may be nearing an end, especially since they don't have another back-to-back in the next week.
