Murray allowed four goals on 33 shots but came up with a win in Saturday's 7-4 win over the Wild.
EDGE Analysis
Saturday's win was... well, wild, but Murray got plenty of offense from a depleted Penguins roster. The 25-year-old needed just 166 games to earn his first 100 wins. He's 3-2 on the season with a 2.82 GAA and a .911 save percentage through five starts. Tristan Jarry will likely handle the second half of a road back-to-back in Winnipeg on Sunday.

Murray will tend the road twine for Saturday's game against the Wild, Jessi Pierce of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Murray will make his fifth straight start, but this will be his first road game of the season. Besides allowing four goals to the Jets earlier in the week, Murray has been solid this year with a .920 save percentage and 2.52 GAA. Murray was substantially better on the road (.931 save percentage) than he was at home (.906 save percentage) last year, so he's in a good position to stay on track against the winless Wild.

Murray made 31 saves in a 2-1 victory over Anaheim on Thursday night.
EDGE Analysis
Murray handed the Quacks their first loss of the season. It was a nice rebound from his performance against the Jets on Tuesday when he allowed four goals on 22 shots. There's a slim margin of error for Murray because Evgeni Malkin and his offence is on the injured list. He'll need to put in a lot more performances like this over the next couple months. So far, so good.

Murray will start Thursday's game against Anaheim, Penguins broadcaster Josh Getzoff reports.
EDGE Analysis
Murray will be making his fourth consecutive start to open the season. He's unlikely to get much help offensively in this one, as Pittsburgh's battling injuries up front while Anaheim has held each of its first three opponents to one goal. On the bright side, the Ducks aren't exactly an imposing offensive force, averaging 2.67 goals per game after scoring a league-low 2.39 per game last season.

Murray stopped 18 of 22 shots in a 4-1 loss to the Jets on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Murray was not his sharp self Tuesday night, giving up four in a home loss to Winnipeg. Sidney Crosby scored the lone goal for Pittsburgh. As for Murray, the 25-year-old remains a decent start in fantasy, but his team's collective struggles do hurt his value somewhat. No reason to panic because it's still very early, and Murray should get the start on Tuesday versus Anaheim, but the team has yet to make an official announcement.

Murray was the first goalie off the ice at morning skate, indicating he'll get the start in goal in Tuesday's home matchup with the Jets, Matt Vensel of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.
EDGE Analysis
Murray has been sharp through the first two games of the campaign, posting a 2.54 GAA and an impressive .930 save percentage. The 25-year-old will look to remain dialed in and pick up his second victory of the season in a home matchup with a Jets team that's averaged 3.00 goals per game through its first three contests of 2019-20.

Murray stopped 28 shots in Saturday's 7-2 win over the Blue Jackets.
EDGE Analysis
The Pens exploded for five goals in the second period, putting the game out of reach fairly early and sending Murray to his first win of the season without too much fuss. The 25-year-old has played 49 or 50 games in each of the last three seasons, but he could be set for a bigger workload in 2019-20 with the relatively unproven Tristan Jarry as his backup.

Murray will patrol the home crease in Saturday's game versus the Blue Jackets, Seth Rorabaugh of The Pittsburgh Tribune-Review reports.
EDGE Analysis
Murray can't be fully blamed for Opening Night's 3-1 loss to the Sabres, as he allowed three goals on 41 shots. The Blue Jackets will be playing for their second straight day, and they only managed one goal against the Maple Leafs on Friday night. However, the Penguins will need to manage more offensive support for Murray to notch his first win of the year.

Murrray stopped 38 of 41 Buffalo shots in Pittsburgh's 3-1 loss to the Sabres on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
The 25-year-old netminder turned in a strong performance in the season opener but was done in by former teammate Conor Sheary's two goals. Now in his fourth season as Pittsburgh's No. 1 goalie, Murray is a plug-and-play fantasy starter.

Murray was the first goalie off the ice at morning skate, indicating he'll get the start in goal in Thursday's home opener against the Sabres, Josh Getzoff of PensTV reports.
EDGE Analysis
Murray was rock solid during Pittsburgh's exhibition schedule, posting a 1.62 GAA and .942 save percentage in three appearances. The 25-year-old will look to pick up his first victory of the season in a home game against a Buffalo team that went 12-24-5 on the road in 2018-19.
