Murray will protect the home goal Tuesday versus the Blues, per TSN 1200 Ottawa.
EDGE Analysis
Murray has lost his last two starts, though he's allowed just three goals on 80 shots while receiving no help from his teammates in that span. It doesn't get easier Tuesday against a Blues' offense that has scored 19 goals in its last six games. Murray will be a risky play in fantasy based on the matchup.

Murray made 35 saves Saturday in a 2-0 loss to the Bruins.
EDGE Analysis
This loss was not on Murray. Not only were the Sens shut out for the second straight game, but the skaters started the game asleep. The Bruins turned up the pressure from the opening drop and scored on a rebound 45 seconds in on its first shift. Another rebound from the top of the crease at the 13:26 mark of the first finished the scoring. Murray has been a strong play of late, but he can't do it all. Ottawa hasn't scored since Chris Tierney scored at the 2:54 mark of the second period of a 4-3 win over Carolina on Tuesday.

Murray made 43 saves in a 2-0 loss to Pittsburgh on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
He was outstanding in his first game against his former squad. The only goal Murray allowed came in the second when Kris Letang pounced on a turnover at the blue line and fed Jeff Carter in the slot, who fired a one-timer shelf over the netminder's blocker. Murray has allowed two goals or fewer in each of his past five starts, and has been the difference maker for a young Sens squad. He's an underrated, second-half option in the blue paint -- this team has nothing to lose and plenty to prove, and that will be hard for most teams to manage.

Murray will defend the cage Thursday against visiting Pittsburgh, per Wes Crosby of NHL.com.
EDGE Analysis
Murray has gone 3-0-2 with a 1.55 GAA and .952 save percentage over his last five appearances. The Penguins have averaged 32.7 shots on goal and 3.39 goals for alongside a 15-5-3 record on the road this season, ranking ninth and fourth, respectively. The Senators were defeated 6-4 in their last meeting with the Penguins on Jan. 20, but Murray did not make an appearance.

Murray allowed one goal on 33 shots in Monday's 4-1 win over the Devils.
EDGE Analysis
Murray gave up the opening goal to Nico Hischier on a Devils power play, but he was rock-solid after that. The 27-year-old Murray has allowed just eight goals across his last five appearances while earning wins in three of those games. The Ontario native improved to 5-6-2 with a 2.72 GAA and a .914 save percentage through 14 appearances. He's likely to give way to Anton Forsberg for Tuesday's game versus the Hurricanes, but Murray could be back in net Thursday against his former team, the Penguins.

Murray will get the starting nod at home versus the Devils on Monday, Bruce Garrioch of the Ottawa Sun reports.
EDGE Analysis
Murray is undefeated in regulation in his last six contests, having posted a 4-0-2 record and 1.95 GAA. If the Thunder Bay native can continue to play at this level, he should be in contention to secure more consistent starts heading into the second half of the 2021-22 campaign. With Murray taking the first game of the Senators' back-to-back, fantasy players will likely see Anton Forsberg between the pipes versus Carolina on Tuesday.

Murray made 37 saves on 39 shots in a 3-2 overtime win over the Oilers on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Murray was more or less unfazed by the slick Oilers offense, hanging on for the win in this one despite allowing the final regulation goal. The 27-year-old netminder has a 4-0-2 stretch going with a 1.95 GAA and .939 save percentage.

Murray will tend the twine for Monday's home matchup with Edmonton.
EDGE Analysis
Murray has been faring slightly better since the calendar turned over to 2022, as he is 3-1-2 in his last six outings along with a 2.63 GAA. Still, the 27-year-old netminder remains a question mark for the Senators considering the club shipped him down to the minors earlier in the year. In his previous clash with the Oilers, Murray gave up four goals on 37 shots (.892 save percentage) but was still able to walk away with the victory.

Murray made 27 saves in a 3-2 shootout loss to Carolina on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Murray has been making some great saves for the Sens in the last several games and Thursday was no different. And that inspires the young squad in front of him, especially with a half-dozen forwards out with significant injuries. Since the Sens returned to action post-COVID protocols, Murray is 3-0-2 with one shutout.
