Murray will get the starting nod for Monday's preseason matchup against Toronto.
EDGE Analysis
Looking to bounce back from a brutal 2020-21 campaign, Murray has been pretty active this preseason. He registered an unsightly 3.38 GAA and .893 save percentage last season but he doesn't have much competition for Ottawa's No. 1 goalie job at the moment.

Murray will tend the twine at home against the Canadiens on Friday and is slated to play the entire game, Kyle Bukauskas of Sportsnet reports.
EDGE Analysis
Murray went just 10-13-1 with a career-worst 3.38 GAA in his first season with the Senators. The 27-year-old netminder will be hard-pressed to significantly improve upon his 2020-21 numbers given the team around him but may still be able to reach the 20-win mark if he plays enough.

Murray (lower body) was the first on the ice for practice Thursday, TSN 1200 Ottawa reports.
EDGE Analysis
Murray had a terrible 2020-21 with a 3.38 GAA and an .893 save percentage across 27 games. He appears to be healthy heading into training camp, so he should be the team's No. 1 option in net over Anton Forsberg.

Murray (lower body) was not protected by the Senators ahead of Wednesday's Expansion Draft.
EDGE Analysis
The two-time Stanley Cup winner was atrocious in his debut campaign with Ottawa, posting a 3.38 GAA and .893 save percentage in 27 appearances. Murray has three years left on his current contract, but with a cap hit of $6.25 million, it's unclear if the remaining term will be enough to make up for his recent struggles and associated disproportionate salary.

Murray had a disappointing first season in Ottawa and will look to rebound after a lower-body injury ended his season.
EDGE Analysis
The question with Murray is whether he'll remain in Ottawa or get picked by Seattle in the expansion draft. At this point, it's unclear if the Senators will protect Murray or hope that his $6.25 million cap hit will be enough to dissuade the Kraken from selecting him.

Murray (lower body) won't be available for Wednesday's season finale versus the Maple Leafs, Ian Mendes of TSN 1200 Ottawa reports.
EDGE Analysis
Murray will miss an eighth straight game Wednesday due to his lower-body issue, but at this point there's no reason to believe he won't be fully recovered in time for next campaign's training camp. The 26-year-old netminder will finish a somewhat disappointing first season with the Senators during which he posted a 10-13-1 record while registering a sub-par 3.38 GAA and .893 save percentage in 27 appearances.

Coach DJ Smith is hopeful Murray (lower body) will be able to get a few games in before the end of the season, Ian Mendes of TSN 1200 Ottawa reports.
EDGE Analysis
It's safe to assume Murray will be sidelined for at least another week, but the fact that he may still get a few games in before the campaign comes to an end is nonetheless an encouraging development. Marcus Hogberg will continue to serve as the Senators' No. 1 netminder until Murray is given the green light to return.

Murray (lower body) won't play Monday against the Canucks and could be "out a little bit longer," Bruce Garrioch of the Ottawa Sun reports.
EDGE Analysis
Murray was injured Saturday against Vancouver and will miss Monday's rematch as a result. He hasn't been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Canucks at this point, but it sounds like Murray's absence will likely linger beyond just Monday's game. With Anton Forsberg (lower body) also out Monday, Marcus Hogberg will man the road crease in Vancouver.

Murray (lower body) will not return to Saturday's game versus the Canucks.
EDGE Analysis
The nature of Murray's injury wasn't known until the Senators' announcement that he would not return for the third period. The 26-year-old should be considered day-to-day ahead Monday's home game versus the Canucks.

Murray (undisclosed) left Saturday's game versus the Canucks after a collision with Jake Virtanen, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports.
EDGE Analysis
Murray, who was filling in for Anton Forsberg (lower body), got hurt in the second period. It's not a great situation for the Senators, who are down to the last healthy goalie on their roster. Marcus Hogberg replaced Murray in goal.
