Murray will be between the pipes for Friday's Game 2 road clash with the Islanders, Taylor Haase of DK on Pittsburgh Sports reports.

EDGE Analysis

Murray made 29 of a possible 33 saves (.879 save percentage) in Game 1, his second consecutive contest in which he allowed four goals to find the back of the net in an overtime loss. With the Penguins averaging 3.31 goals in the regular season, the netminder doesn't need to be perfect, but certainly has to stop more pucks from crossing the goal line.

Murray stopped 29 of 33 shots during Wednesday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Islanders in Game 1 of their first-round series.

EDGE Analysis

The 24-year-old had no chance on Josh Bailey's game-winner -- after sprawling to try and make a save on a Mathew Barzal backhand, he could only watch helplessly as the puck rang off the post and went straight to Bailey to bang home. Murray is no stranger to postseason adversity, and his 28-16 record and 2.12 GAA in the playoffs should give the Pens confidence that he'll be able to rebound in Game 2 on Friday.

Murray was first off the ice at morning skate Wednesday as he prepares to face the Islanders on the road for Game 1 of the conference quarterfinals, Matt Vensel of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

EDGE Analysis

Goalie confirmations are rather obvious in the playoffs, as teams will naturally lean on the No. 1 option from the regular season. Murray went 29-14-6 to complement a 2.69 GAA and .919 save percentage through 50 games, and the soon-to-be 25-year-old will be vying for his third Stanley Cup win. The Isles struggled offensively without John Tavares this season, as the divisional foe ranked 22nd in goals per game (2.72).

Murray made 26 saves Saturday in a 4-3 overtime loss to the Rangers.

EDGE Analysis

He came so close to his second 30-win season, but Ryan Strome snapped the winner home from the left face-off circle. Murray makes magic in the postseason, so he looks primed and ready for a solid run starting mid-week.

Murray will get the starting nod at home for the season finale against the Rangers, Jason Mackey of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

EDGE Analysis

Considering the Penguins still have a chance at securing the No. 2 seed in the Metropolitan Division, it shouldn't come as a shock to see coach Mike Sullivan go back to his stater. The 24-year-old Murray struggled at times this season and was hampered by injuries, but still managed to put together a 29-14-5 record, along with a 2.66 GAA, .920 save percentage and four shutouts. A win versus the Rangers would give the Thunder Bay native his second 30-win season and will be the final tuneup before the Stanley Cup Playoffs kickoff on Wednesday.

Murray made 33 saves in a 4-1 victory over Detroit on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Murray is 5-2 in his last seven starts. He allowed two or fewer goals in each of the five wins. Murray's game is hot as he heads toward the second season. That's great news for Pen' fans.

EDGE Analysis

Murray struggled in his last start Tuesday in Detroit, allowing three goals on 25 shots en route to a 4-1 defeat. The 24-year-old backstop will look to bounce back in a home matchup with the same opponent who is currently riding a six-game winning streak.

Murray allowed three goals on 26 shots in a 4-1 loss to the Red Wings on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Without Kris Letang and Brian Dumoulin on the blue line, Murray wasn't enough to help the Penguins clinch a playoff spot. It appeared Murray made a terrific glove-save on Tyler Bertuzzi's first goal, but the replay revealed the puck crossed the goal line inside Murray's glove. The Penguins netminder didn't have much of a chance on the other two goals he allowed. Murray is 28-14-5 with a 2.70 GAA and a .919 save percentage in 48 games this season.

Murray has been named Tuesday's road starter versus the Red Wings, Taylor Haase of DK Pittsburgh Sports reports.

EDGE Analysis

Despite its minus-44 goal differential and sixth-place standing in the Atlantic Division, Murray will be taking this team seriously, as the Wings have compiled five straight wins with a crop of touted prospects seeing opportunities all about the lineup. Pittsburgh's go-to netminder is 28-13-5 with a 2.69 GAA and .920 save percentage, with the ratios neatly aligned with his career averages.

Murray stopped 37 of 38 shots in Sunday's 3-1 win over the Hurricanes.

EDGE Analysis

Murray looked unstoppable in net Sunday, and is now 4-1-0 with a 1.78 GAA and .943 save percentage in his last five starts. The 24-year-old has allowed three or less goals in each of his last seven starts. With a playoff bid not yet secure for Pittsburgh, Murray could get the starting nod for both of their remaining games.
