EDGE Analysis

Murray struggled in his final season in Pittsburgh in 2019-20, posting an ugly .899 save percentage in 38 appearances. Things are unlikely to improve Friday, as he'll be taking on a Toronto club that averaged 3.39 goals per game last campaign, third in the NHL, and although the Senators should be improved across the board, it's safe to assume they'll still have their fair share of defensive lapses in 2020-21.

EDGE Analysis

The Senators traded a second-round pick and prospect Johnny Gruden for Murray on Wednesday, and now they've locked down their starting goalie through the 2023-24 season. Although just 26 years old, Murray has the experience of a veteran with 199 regular-season NHL games under his belt, a career .914 save percentage and two Stanley Cups.

EDGE Analysis

Murray is a restricted free agent and can become a UFA next offseason. But he likes what he sees in his new team. "This is a young team stacked with talent and heading in absolutely the right direction," Murray said after his recent trade. "I definitely hope we can get something done so I can be here for years to come." The netminder has a history of injuries, including concussions and lower-body issues. But he is also the seventh-fastest goalie in history to hit 100 regular-season wins (166 games). Murray will be tested in Ottawa behind a defense where no guy has 300 or more games of NHL experience. Suffice to say, he's going to see a lot of rubber.

The Thunder Bay, Ontario native has had a great start to the postseason, turning aside 58 of 62 shots across the first two games.
