Murray steered away 32 of 34 shots in Tuesday's overtime win versus the Panthers.
EDGE Analysis
Murray is on top of his game right now with three wins over the last four outings, and he now has a .915 save percentage on the season. The Penguins are starting to find their groove, and they're giving Murray plenty of offensive support with at least three goals in five straight outings. When he's playing like this, Murray is a strong fantasy start.

Murray stopped 36 of 37 shots in a big 5-1 victory against the Canadiens on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Sitting outside the playoff table heading into the day, Penguins coach Mike Sullivan turned to Murray for the second straight night, which is extremely rare. But Murray rewarded his coach's trust with one of his best performances of the season. The Penguins spotted him an early 3-0 lead, and Murray essentially shut the door from there. He's been inconsistent at times, but Murray is 5-1-2 with a .924 save percentage in the his last eight starts. Overall, he is 20-10-3 with a 2.90 GAA and .913 save percentage in 34 games this season.

Murray will be the road starter versus the Canadiens on Saturday, Josh Yohe of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Penguins very rarely start a given goalie on back-to-back games in the regular season, but Murray -- who owns a 19-10-3 record, 2.96 GAA and .911 save percentage through 33 games -- will stay in the net after dropping a 4-3 overtime contest to the Sabres on Friday. Backed by the league's 12th-best offense (3.05 goals per game), the Habs are expected to counter with revered veteran netminder Carey Price.

Murray stopped 26 of 30 shots in Friday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Sabres.
EDGE Analysis
While it was a disappointing final result, Murray has been mostly solid for the Penguins lately, going 4-1-2 over his last seven starts with a 2.96 GAA and .917 save percentage. With the team in a dogfight for a playoff spot, expect the 24-year-old to see a heavy workload down the stretch.

Murray will be between the pipes for Friday's road game versus the Sabres, Sam Kasan of Pens Inside Scoop reports.
EDGE Analysis
Murray bounced back from a disastrous outing versus the Flyers on Saturday with a solid, 21-save victory over the Blue Jackets on Tuesday. The Thunder Bay native will need to step up his game if the Pens are going to make a run at the postseason. While Murray takes the first game of the Pens' back-to-back, Casey DeSmith figures to get the nod for Saturday's tilt with the Habs.

Murray turned aside 21 of 23 shots in Tuesday's 5-2 win over the Blue Jackets.
EDGE Analysis
Despite a patchwork Pens blue line corps in front of him, Murray came through with his best performance in a couple of weeks. The 24-year-old has had an uneven February, going 4-3-1 in eight starts with a 2.87 GAA and .920 save percentage, but he remains locked in as the No. 1 goalie for a Pittsburgh squad looking to make a late charge up the standings in the Metropolitan Division.
