Murray allowed four goals on 25 shots in Thursday's 4-1 loss to the Canucks.
EDGE Analysis
The Canucks' best players were active early in this one, as Brock Boeser, Elias Pettersson and Quinn Hughes all had multi-point outings within the first 25 minutes. Murray stayed in the game, but the Senators' offense couldn't get anything past Braden Holtby, outside of a wonderful individual effort by Thomas Chabot. Murray dropped to 1-4-1 in six starts this year, and he has a 4.39 GAA and an .859 save percentage. Fantasy managers who thought a change of scenery would do Murray good may want to consider a backup plan at this point.

Murray will draw the start for Thursday's road matchup with the Canucks, Jeff Paterson of TSN 1040 Vancouver reports.
EDGE Analysis
Murray will draw the start for the sixth time in eight games this season, but he hasn't earned a victory since Jan. 15. This season the 26-year-old has gone 1-3-1 along with a 4.47 GAA and .862 save percentage in five appearances. Murray will face a tough task against a Canucks squad that he just got shelled against in Monday's 7-1 loss.

Murray gave up seven goals on 35 shots in a 7-1 loss to the Canucks.
EDGE Analysis
This was not Murray's game, as the Canucks' offense was much stronger than the Senators' defense. The 26-year-old falls to 1-3-1 with 21 goals allowed in five appearances. Murray will still see a majority of the starts over Marcus Hogberg, but neither Senators goalie inspires much confidence in a high-scoring North Division.

Murray will draw the start in Vancouver on Monday, Thomas Drance of The Athletic Vancouver reports.
EDGE Analysis
Murray will start for the fifth time in six games but hasn't earned a win since Jan. 15. The 26-year-old has allowed at least three goals in each outing, sporting an unsightly 3.78 GAA and .880 save percentage. He'll look to turn things around against the Canucks, who have scored 11 goals over their last three contests.

Murray allowed four goals on 26 shots Thursday in a 4-1 loss to Winnipeg.
EDGE Analysis
Murray was replaced by Marcus Hogberg to start the third period with the Senators trailing 4-0. The 26-year-old Murray, acquired from Pittsburgh in the offseason, is off to a rough start with his new team, giving up three-plus goals in each of his starts and posting an .880 save percentage. It's possible he gets a breather for Saturday's rematch with the Jets after having started Ottawa's first four games.

Murray is set to patrol the blue paint at home versus Winnipeg on Thursday, Bruce Garrioch of the Ottawa Sun reports.
EDGE Analysis
Murray has been middling at best this season as he is 1-1-1 with a 3.30 GAA and .890 save percentage. Thursday's clash will be the fourth straight start for the 26-year-old netminder, who has thus far carried the load for the Senators. The team's first back-to-back will come Jan 27/28 against the Canucks, which could be the first start for Marcus Hogberg.

Murray turned aside 24 shots in Tuesday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Jets.
EDGE Analysis
The 26-year-old was staked to a 3-1 lead midway through the second period, but Murray couldn't make it stick. His Ottawa tenure has gotten off to a somewhat shaky start, as he's gone 1-1-1 through three games with a .890 save percentage, and that could open the door for Marcus Hogberg to get the nod in net for the Senators' next game Thursday.

Murray will tend the home twine in Tuesday's game against the Jets, Bruce Garrioch of the Ottawa Sun reports.
EDGE Analysis
Murray has been solid through his first two games in Ottawa, turning aside 57 of 63 shots -- a .905 save percentage -- and recording a 1-1-0 record. The Jets are coming to town after losing 3-1 to the Maple Leafs on Monday night, and they'll be rolling with backup Laurent Brossoit in their crease.

Murray made 37 saves in a 3-2 loss to Toronto on Saturday night.
EDGE Analysis
Murray gives the Sens instant credibility as they rebuild, but he's going to face a lot of rubber throughout 2020-21. So his value lies in your league's categories. Early season games have been fairly sloppy, so we need a few more outings to really get a feel for expectations this year. But suffice to say that Murray won't deliver to his career stats (2.67; .914).

Murray will defend the home goal in Saturday's game against the Maple Leafs, Brent Wallace of TSN.ca reports.
EDGE Analysis
Murray recorded his first win as a Senator in Friday's 5-3 win over the Maple Leafs, steering away 20 shots in the process. The 26-year-old will look to repeat that effort against the high-powered Maple Leafs.
