Murray (upper body) will not dress for Thursday's game against the Panthers, Josh Yohe of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
This outcome shouldn't come as much of a shock following the team's emergency recall of Tristan Jarry from AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton earlier in the day. Jarry will serve as the backup to Casey DeSmith on Thursday, while Murray will take aim at rejoining the action in the second of a three-game road trip Saturday against the Lightning.

Murray is dealing with an upper-body issue, but will join the team on its three-game road trip, Rob Rossi of The Pittsburgh City Paper reports.
EDGE Analysis
Even if Murray is healthy enough to suit up versus the Panthers on Thursday, the Pens could decide to give him the night off in favor of Casey DeSmith just to ensure Murray is fully fit. The Thunder Bay native has struggled of late, as he is 2-4-0 with a .896 save percentage in his previous six outings and will need to be better if Pittsburgh is going to make a deep playoff run.

Murray will be in goal versus the Hurricanes at home Tuesday, Matt Vensel of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.
EDGE Analysis
Murray is once again struggling for consistency, as he is 2-3-0 in his last five outings with a 3.40 GAA and .894 save percentage. The Thunder Bay native is backed by a Penguins offense that is averaging 3.50 goals (sixth highest in the league), so while he needs to be better if the team wants to lift the Stanley Cup again, he doesn't need to be perfect.

Murray made 30 saves in a 3-2 loss to the Maple Leafs on Saturday night.
EDGE Analysis
Murray has been a touch sluggish in his last five games, recording a 2-3 record with 17 goals allowed. Murray's 2.96 GAA and .910 save percentage are mediocre, but playing behind the Eastern Conference's second-best offence means he'll get plenty of wins for your squad.

Murray will defend the cage on the road against the Maple Leafs on Saturday, Josh Getzoff of PensTV reports.
EDGE Analysis
Murray is 3-1-1 with a 2.12 GAA and .938 save percentage in six career games against the Leafs. Pittsburgh's top netminder has driven through his share of peaks and valleys on the way to a 15-7-1 record, 2.96 GAA and .910 save percentage through 24 contests this season. February has historically been among his strongest months, so fantasy owners should still be confident using him as a No. 1 goalie in season-long leagues.

Murray allowed two goals on 35 shots in a 4-2 victory against the Lightning on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
The 24-year-old was less than five minutes away from a shutout, so yielding two goals was a bit disappointing, but overall, it was a great night for Murray. He saw 16 shots in the first period and stopped them all, allowing the Penguins to build a 3-0 lead. Murray is now 11-2-0 with a .934 save percentage since returning from injury in mid-December. His overall numbers still aren't great, but after a great month and a half, owners don't need to worry about him down the stretch.

Murray will get the starting nod at home versus the Lightning on Wednesday, Sam Kasan of Pens Inside Scoop reports.
EDGE Analysis
Murray is looking to bounce back from a disappoint clash with the Devils in which he gave up six goals on 32 shots. Backed by the league's fifth best offense (3.49 goals per game), the netminder doesn't need to be perfect, but just keep games close in order to walk away with wins. Wednesday's clash with Tampa Bay will be a test for the Thunder Bay native, as the club is currently firing 32.4 shots per game and converting at a 4.00 goals per game rate.

Murray allowed six goals on 26 shots in Monday's loss to the Devils.
EDGE Analysis
Murray was 10-1-0 with a .944 save percentage in 11 starts leading up to the All-Star break, but he faltered after the extended rest. The Devils notched two power-play goals and added a shorthanded score from Brian Boyle as the Penguins were never in this game after the Devils scored their first pair. Murray will look to bounce back Wednesday versus the Lightning.

Murray will tend the twine against the Devils on Monday, Sam Kasan of Pens Inside Scoop reports.
EDGE Analysis
Murray entered the All-Star break on a roll with a 10-1-0 record and 1.81 GAA in his previous 11 outings. The Thunder Bay native will look to keep his strong run of form going versus a New Jersey squad that is averaging 32.4 shots (10th highest in the league), but is only converting at a rate of 2.90 goals per game.
