Murray signed a one-year, $1 million contract with Seattle on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Murray posted a 10-5-4 record with a 1.72 GAA and a .934 save percentage across 21 outings with AHL Toronto in 2024-25. The 31-year-old netminder only appeared in three regular-season contests with AHL Toronto in 2023-24 due to bilateral hip surgery. Murray might start the 2025-26 campaign in the minors because Joey Daccord and Philipp Grubauer are ahead of him on the Seattle depth chart.

Murray turned aside six of seven shots Wednesday after replacing Joseph Woll early in the third period of the Maple Leafs' 6-1 loss to the Panthers in Game 5 of their second-round series.

EDGE Analysis

The lopsided result should be laid firmly at the feet of Toronto's defensive effort, as neither goalie had much chance at any of the pucks that got past them. Anthony Stolarz (upper body) hasn't played since Game 1, and if he's not ready to return in Game 6 on Friday, it's at least possible the desperate Leafs turn to Murray between the pipes as they attempt to avoid elimination.

Murray will serve as the backup netminder for Wednesday's Game 2 at home against the Panthers, David Alter of The Hockey News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Anthony Stolarz (upper body) has been ruled out for Wednesday's matchup, so Joseph Woll will serve as the starting netminder. Murray will dress as the No. 2 goalie for Game 2, but it's also possible that Dennis Hildeby dresses as the backup later in the series if Stolzarz is forced to miss additional time.

Murray was reassigned to AHL Toronto on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Murray, who was summoned Jan. 23, didn't end up playing for the Maple Leafs during his latest NHL stint, but he does have a 1-1-0 record, 3.53 GAA and .879 save percentage in two NHL appearances in 2024-25 due to a previous stint with Toronto. Anthony Stolarz (knee) was activated off injured reserve Thursday, which is why Murray is returning to the minors.

Murray was recalled from AHL Toronto on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Murray has appeared in two games for the Leafs this season in which he posted a 1-1-0 record to go with a 3.53 GAA. Even with his promotion, the two-time Stanley Cup champion figures to serve as the No. 2 option behind Joseph Woll. In the minors this year, Murray is sporting an impressive 1.68 GAA and .934 save percentage while going 8-4-2 in 15 outings.

Murray was assigned to AHL Toronto on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

In a corresponding move, the Maple Leafs summoned Dennis Hildeby from the minors. Murray has allowed seven goals on 58 shots in two NHL starts this season en route to a 1-1-0 record. He had been bouncing between the AHL and NHL levels to maintain his waiver exemption status, but that trend may be ending. According to David Alter of The Hockey News, Hildeby could remain with the big club as the backup behind Joseph Woll due to the absence of Anthony Stolarz (knee).

Murray turned aside 27 of 31 shots faced during Saturday's 5-2 home loss to the Capitals.

EDGE Analysis

Murray is still searching for his first win of the season after allowing at least three goals in each of his first two starts since being recalled following the injury to Anthony Stolarz (knee). The 30-year-old could be worth the occasional spot start behind a high-powered Maple Leafs team, but with Joseph Woll firmly entrenched as the starter, Murray has yet to re-establish himself as much of a fantasy commodity.

Murray will guard the home net Saturday against the Capitals, Terry Koshan of The Toronto Sun reports.

EDGE Analysis

It'll be the second start of the year for Murray -- he stopped 24 of 27 shots in a win over Buffalo on Dec. 20. The 30-year-old netminder will have a tougher task this time around against the Capitals, who rank third in goals per game with 3.68.

Murray was recalled from AHL Toronto on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Murray made his first NHL start in 628 days Friday and stopped 24 shots in a 6-3 victory over Buffalo. He was sent down to the minors the following day for roster management purposes, allowing the Maple Leafs to avoid waivers. Look for the same situation this week as it is likely Murray starts Friday in Detroit, and if he does, he should return to the AHL on Saturday with Dennis Hildeby returning to the Toronto roster.

Murray was returned to AHL Toronto on Saturday, according to David Alter of The Hockey News.

EDGE Analysis

Murray made his first NHL appearance in 628 days Friday, turning aside 24 shots in a 6-3 win over Buffalo. He was likely sent down for roster management purposes, as he will not have to go through waivers. The Maple Leafs promoted Dennis Hildeby from the AHL in a corresponding move.
