Murray will get the starting nod for Tuesday's road tilt with the Hurricanes, Josh Getzoff of PensTV reports.
EDGE Analysis
Murray will look to bounce back from a pair of losses, as he gave up six goals on 51 shots (.882 save percentage). The netminder split the previous two matchups with the Canes, in which he posted a 1.51 GAA. Without Evgeni Malkin (upper body) in the lineup, the Thunder Bay native may not be able to rely on as much offensive output as he might otherwise expect.

Murray surrendered two goals on 38 shots in Sunday's 2-1 overtime loss to the Flyers.
EDGE Analysis
The two goals couldn't have come in a worse way for Murray, as James van Riemsdyk scored with 18 seconds left in the third period, only to be followed by Sean Couturier's overtime dagger with 3.4 seconds remaining. The result dropped Murray's record to 24-12-4 with a 2.83 GAA and a .916 save percentage. The Penguins begin a road trip Tuesday against the Hurricanes, although it's unclear if Murray will draw a third straight start in that contest.

Murray will take on the Flyers on Sunday, Wes Crosby of NHL.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Murray will look to bounce back from Saturday's horrible outing against St. Louis where he allowed four goals on 13 shots before getting the hook. He had a .929 save percentage and 2.37 GAA in his previous 10 appearances, going 7-1-2 in the process. The 24-year-old should be deployed as usual for fantasy purposes.

Murray allowed four goals on 13 shots before being replaced by Casey DeSmith early in the second period of Saturday's 5-1 loss to the Blues.
EDGE Analysis
Murray had won four of his last five starts, not giving up more than three goals in any of them, but he looked sluggish in this home matinee. The 24-year-old now sports a 2.54 GAA and .925 save percentage through eight games in March.

Murray will post up between the pipes for Saturday's home game against the Blues.
EDGE Analysis
One more victory will help Murray reach the 25-win plateau for a third straight year. His only other start against the Blues this season was an absolute gem, as the Ontario native denied 30 of 31 shots for a 6-1 win in St. Louis on Dec. 29. While the Blues have lost three straight games, they're a shoo-in for a playoff berth out of the Central Division.

Murray stopped 38 of 41 shots in Tuesday's 5-3 win over the Capitals.
EDGE Analysis
The 24-year-old is in a groove, going 7-1-2 in his last 10 starts with a 2.37 GAA and .929 save percentage. Murray's hot streak has helped give the Pens a little breathing room in the Eastern Conference playoff race, and Tuesday's victory puts the club only four points back of the Caps for the Metropolitan Division lead. Expect Pittsburgh to continue leaning heavily on their No. 1 netminder down the stretch.

Murray was the first goalie off the ice at morning skate, indicating he'll guard the goal in Tuesday's home game against the Capitals, per Matt Vensel of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.
EDGE Analysis
Murray was razor sharp in his last start Sunday against the Bruins, stopping 39 of 41 shots en route to an impressive 4-2 victory. The 24-year-old backstop will look to stay dialed in and secure his 24th win of the season in a tough home matchup with a red-hot Washington team that's won seven straight games.

Murray stopped 39 of 41 shots in a 4-2 win over the Bruins on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Murray was kept busy by the visitors in this contest, but held on in the end for the all-important win, which snapped a run of 19 games without a regulation loss for the Bruins. Murray improved to 23-11-3 with a 2.77 GAA and a .917 save percentage. With a 4-1 record and just eight goals against over his last five starts, Murray is rounding into form at the perfect time. It's likely he starts Tuesday's Metropolitan Division showdown versus the Capitals.

Murray will make his eighth straight start Sunday against the Bruins, Wes Crosby of NHL.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Crosby adds that Murray is appearing in an eighth consecutive contest for the first time since doing so Jan. 16 - Feb. 3, 2017. Fatigue could certainly be a factor for Murray here, as he's making his third start in four days. He's not a recommended DFS play against a Bruins team that's 15-0-2 in its last 17 games, though season-long owners may not have a better alternative to turn to.

Murray turned aside 29 of 32 shots in Saturday's 4-1 loss to the Blue Jackets.
EDGE Analysis
Columbus' last goal came into an empty net. Murray deserved a much better result than his first regulation loss since Feb. 16, as he absolutely robbed Jackets shooters of seemingly sure goals on at least two occasions, but the Pens simply couldn't muster any offense to support him. The netminder now has a 5-1-2 record with a 2.34 GAA and .925 save percentage over his last eight starts, and Murray should keep seeing a heavy workload down the stretch with Pittsburgh still trying to lock up a playoff spot.
