Murray will be between the pipes against the Capitals on Thursday, Jason Mackey of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

EDGE Analysis

Murray is coming off his first postseason that didn't end in a Stanley Cup parade -- the results of a subpar playoff performance in which he went 6-6 with a 2.43 GAA. The netminder has been plagued by injuries each of the previous two years, which raises red flags in regards to his fantasy value. If the 24-year-old can stay healthy, he could finally challenge for the 40-win mark.

Murray is expected to be between the pipes against the Sabres on Wednesday, Jason Mackey of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

EDGE Analysis

Murray hasn't seen a ton of time in the crease this preseason, as the club has been working to determine who will serve as his backup this year. However, with Opening Night just over a week away, the Thunder Bay native will likely get some extra work in the final two tuneups.

Murray will start Saturday's preseason contest against Columbus and play the entire game, the Penguins' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

The confirmation from coach Mike Sullivan that Murray will play the whole game is huge for DFS players, as many teams have been making life difficult by splitting games between multiple netminders. This will be Murray's first game action since being eliminated by the Capitals in last season's playoffs.

Murray stopped 28 of 30 shots in a solid outing, but gave up the series clincher to Washington in overtime Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Murray bounced back from a disappointing Game 5, but was outdueled by Washington's Braden Holtby. For the first time in his young NHL career, the 23-year-old Murray will not be ending the season by lifting the Stanley Cup. During this playoff run, the Thunder Bay native looked rather pedestrian, as he posted a mundane .908 save percentage -- compared to .923 and .937 in 2016 and 2017 respectively. Injuries limited Murray to just 49 regular-season appearances, which is a concern for fans and fantasy owners alike. Even if Pittsburgh once again tries to bring in a veteran to backup the towering netminder, he should see the bulk of the starts (likely around 60) as long as he can stay healthy next year.

Murray will tend the twine for Monday's Game 6 matchup with Washington, Wes Crosby of NHL.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Murray has given up a combined 14 goals in five games versus the Caps. For the playoffs as a hole, the netminder has been subpar with a .905 save percentage and 2.49 GAA. If Pittsburgh is going to force a Game 7, the Thunder Bay native is going to need to be significantly better.

Murray allowed four goals on 30 shots Saturday in a 6-3 loss to Washington in Game 5.

EDGE Analysis

Murray's postseason has mirrored his regular season ... a resounding, "meh." His .905 save percentage in these playoffs is a shadow of his brilliance in playoffs of the past. And with the Pens one loss from the golf course, Murray's average performance will be critiqued for months unless he pulls a proverbial rabbit out of his hat.

Murray will start between the pipes in Saturday's Game 5 against the Capitals in Washington.

EDGE Analysis

Murray was sharp in Game 4, turning aside 20 of 21 shots en route to a tidy 3-1 victory. The 23-year-old netminder will look to stay dialed in and help his team pickup a crucial Game 5 victory on the road Saturday night.

Murray made 20 saves as his team tied the series at 2-2 with a Game 4 win Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Murray felt some discomfort in his shoulder after stopping a Dmitry Orlov rocket early in the second period, but he managed to stay in the game and stop every shot except one T.J. Oshie attempt on the power play. He got plenty of help from the team in front of him, which held Washington to just 21 shots, including none from Alex Ovechkin. Despite the minor injury scare, Murray's the prohibitive favorite to start Game 5 in Washington on Saturday.

Murray is projected to start for the Penguins in their Game 4 home clash with the Capitals on Thursday, according to NHL.com.

EDGE Analysis

This report highlights Murray needing to rebounding as one of the five "Keys to Game 4." Washington took Games 2 and 3 to the detriment of Murray and the Penguins, with Pittsburgh's top tender stopping only 46 of 53 shots over that span. It shouldn't come as a surprise that the two-time defending champions are leading the league in playoff scoring at 3.89 goals per game, but Murray really needs his allied defensemen to seal up some of the scoring lanes to slow the likes of Alex Ovechkin and Evgeny Kuznetsov.

Murray made just 18 saves in Tuesday's 4-3 Game 3 loss to Washington.

EDGE Analysis

The last one came with just 1:07 remaining in regulation, as Alex Ovechkin beat Murray to give the visiting Capitals a 2-1 series lead. Murray allowed two goals in Game 1, three in Game 2 and four in Game 3, creating an alarming pattern heading into Thursday's Game 4.
