Murray will get the starting nod on the road against the Blue Jackets on Tuesday, Sam Kasan of Pens Inside Scoop reports.
EDGE Analysis
Murray will look to bounce back from Saturday's defeat to the Flyers in which he allowed a couple of soft goals and gave up a 3-1 lead. The netminder took much of the blame for the loss and will need to be significantly better if the Pens are going to avoid missing the playoffs for the first time since 2005-06. A clash with a revamped Columbus squad that include world-class center Matt Duchene probably isn't the best matchup to get Murray back on track.

Murray allowed four goals on 37 shots in a 4-3 overtime loss to the Flyers on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
The Penguins played more than two periods and overtime without Kris Letang and Brian Dumoulin and yet led 3-1 with about six minutes remaining. Murray then yielded a power-play goal and allowed two more stoppable pucks to slip past him in the defeat. The Flyers notched the game-tying goal with 19.7 seconds left in regulation. Murray has been really good, posting a 14-6-0 record with a .929 save percentage since Dec. 15, but with the Penguins needing every point for the playoff push, this loss is going to sting for awhile. Murray is 18-11-1 with a 2.97 GAA and a .912 save percentage overall this season.

Murray will start in goal Saturday night against the Flyers as part of the Stadium Series event at Lincoln Financial Field, David Satriano of NHL.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
According to Stephen Whyno of the Associated Press, light rain is expected in the area around the 8:00 p.m. ET start time, but the game apparently isn't at serious risk of being delayed or canceled. Still, it might be in the best interest of fantasy owners not to load up on players from either team in daily contests. Provided the weather holds up, Murray will be countered by Brian Elliott and Philadelphia's 18th-ranked offense (2.90).

Murray made 33 saves on 36 shots in a 4-3 win over the Devils on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Murray got pulled in his start against the Flames on Saturday, but bounced back in his next opportunity. Murray improved to 18-10-1 on the year with a 2.94 GAA and a .913 save percentage. Murray has won three of his last four starts, but could face a tough challenge if tabbed for Thursday's meeting with the Sharks.

Murray will be between the pipes for Tuesday's road tilt versus the Devils, Mike Morreale of NHL.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Murray returns to the crease following his five-goal shelling at the hands of the Flames on Saturday, which saw him get the hook. The young netminder needs to be better if the Penguins are going to make a run at the postseason, but his current 2.93 GAA is unlikely to get the job done.

Murray will start in the home net Saturday against the Flames, Josh Getzoff of PensTV reports.
EDGE Analysis
Coming off of a pair of impressive showings against the Flyers and Oilers, Murray retakes the net Saturday in search of his third straight victory between the pipes. Calgary is no slouch on the road, owning a plus-17 goal differential and averaging 3.10 goals per game, so Murray may need to come up big again to extend the team's winning streak.

Murray turned aside 38 shots in Wednesday's 3-1 win over Edmonton.
EDGE Analysis
The Penguins' netminder allowed only a single goal for the second straight game and has only given up a pair of goals on his last 90 shots. It's been an up and down year for Murray in general, but we all know what the 24-year-old is capable of come playoff time. His record after Wednesday's win is 17-9-1. With back-to-back games Saturday and Sunday, expect Murray to get a break at some point over the weekend.

Murray will defend the home net Wednesday against the Oilers, Jason Mackey of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.
EDGE Analysis
Coming off of a 50-save performance against in-state rival Philadelphia, there seemed little question who would be manning the net. Unfortunately, the 24-year-old netminder hasn't been as good at home of late, owning just a 3.68 GAA and an .888 save percentage in his last four appearances. He should have a decent chance to begin righting that ship against an Oilers club notching just 2.67 goals per game on the road this season.

Murray will get the starting nod for Monday's road clash with instate rival Philadelphia.
EDGE Analysis
Murray was given an extra day to recover from his upper-body injury by serving as the backup versus Tampa Bay on Saturday. The Thunder Bay native will return to the crease having gone 2-4-0 with a disappointing 3.34 GAA in his previous six outings. In eight career matchups with the Flyers, Murray is 3-2-0 along with a .912 save percentage and will probably need to be better than that if he is going to stop a Philadelphia squad that is 9-0-1 in its last 10 contests.

Murray (upper body) will serve as the backup to Casey DeSmith versus Tampa Bay on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Murray probably could have played if this were a playoff game, but with a solid No. 2 behind him in DeSmith, there was no reason to rush the Thunder Bay native back into action. Heading into the rest of the season, the 24-year-old Murray figures to see the bulk of the workload, though he could cede a handful of starts in order to be ready for a deep playoff run.
