EDGE Analysis
Pittsburgh scored twice in the first 99 seconds of the game, putting Murray on course to snap his personal three-game losing streak despite a fairly pedestrian effort on his part. The netminder now carries a 2.85 GAA and .899 save percentage on the season despite his strong 18-10-5 record.

Murray will guard the goal during Tuesday's home game versus Ottawa, Matt Vensel of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.
EDGE Analysis
Murray has struggled recently, suffering three straight losses while posting a sub-par 3.75 GAA and .849 save percentage. He'll look to start righting the ship in a favorable home matchup with a Senators squad that has posted an awful 6-18-6 on the road this year.

Murray gave up three goals on 21 shots in a 3-2 loss to the Ducks on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Despite a fairly light workload, Murray didn't get enough goal support in this contest. The 25-year-old has allowed 11 goals during his three-game losing streak, which dropped him to 17-10-5 this year. He has a 2.85 GAA and a .900 save percentage in 34 starts. Given Murray's poor outing Friday, expect Tristan Jarry to complete the back-to-back Saturday in San Jose.

Murray will protect the road goal in Friday's clash against the Ducks, Dave Molinari of DKPittsburghSports.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Murray hasn't won since Feb. 16 against the Red Wings, but a similarly weak Ducks offense could provide him the chance to get back on track. Murray has allowed four goals in each of his last two starts. Friday is the first half of a back-to-back -- Tristan Jarry seems likely to start Saturday's contest in San Jose.

Murray turned aside 18 shots in Sunday's 5-3 loss to the Capitals.
EDGE Analysis
Washington's final goal was scored into an empty net, although the Caps scored three prior goals in the third period to take the lead. Murray has just one win in his last five outings, going 1-3-1 with a 2.79 GAA and .904 save percentage while alternating starts with Tristan Jarry.

Murray will guard the road cage for Sunday's game against the Capitals, Josh Getzoff of PensTV reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 25-year-old has been decent in net in his past five starts, going 2-2-1 along with a 2.58 GAA and .917 save percentage over that span. Murray will face a tough matchup Sunday, however, against a Washington offense that ranks fifth in the league in goals per game this campaign (3.44). Sunday's game will be a pivotal clash for Murray and the Penguins, as the two teams are tied atop the Metropolitan Division with 80 points.

Murray made 26 saves on 30 shots for the Penguins in a 4-0 loss to the Maple Leafs on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Thursday aside, rumors of Murray's demise have been a bit premature this season. Sure, he struggled in November and sat a lot in December. But Murray has resurrected his game since Dec. 28 -- he's gone 7-2-1 in his last 10 starts. Both he and Tristan Jarry seem to know how to win, so they're both solid options when in the blue paint.

Murray will get the starting nod on the road against Toronto on Thursday, Mike Zeisberger of NHL.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Murray is 4-1-1 with a 2.15 GAA in his last six appearances and figures to continue splitting the netminding duties with Tristan Jarry down the stretch. In seven career matchups with the Leafs, the 25-year-old Murray is 3-2-1 with a .934 save percentage.

Murray turned aside 27 shots in Sunday's 5-1 win over the Red Wings.
EDGE Analysis
Detroit actually grabbed a 1-0 lead just over five minutes into the game, but it was all Pens after that and Murray wasn't particularly tested. While he's lost the No. 1 job to Tristan Jarry, Murray has remained focused and posted a 7-1-1 record since Christmas with a 2.41 GAA and .927 save percentage.

Murray will draw the home start for Sunday's matchup versus Detroit, Dave Molinari of DKPittsburghSports.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Murray has played well in his past five starts, going 3-1-1 along with a 2.38 GAA and .927 save percentage in that span. The 25-year-old will draw a great matchup against a Red Wings offense that sits last in the league, averaging just two goals per contest. It will be another important start for Murray, who has made strides to re-assume the No. 1 role from Tristan Jarry.
