Murray will not start Friday against the Senators, Mark Masters of TSN reports.
EDGE Analysis
Murray was the expected starter but a late change will have Ilya Samsonov getting the starting nod instead. It's unclear if something happened to Murray during warmups or if it was simply a coach's decision. There will likely be more information on the decision after the game Friday.

Per Mike Stephens of SI Now, Murray was the first goaltender off the ice at practice Friday, indicating he will get the home start versus Ottawa.

Murray allowed four goals on eight shots before being replaced by Ilya Samsonov early in the second period of Tuesday's 5-4 overtime win over the Panthers.
EDGE Analysis
None of the four goals can be laid at Murray's feet -- in fact, he stoned Aleksander Barkov on a short-handed breakaway midway through the first period, only for Anton Lundell to be the first person to get to the rebound and bang it home -- but with the Leafs sleepwalking through the early stages of the game, coach Sheldon Keefe made the switch in net to try and spark some life into his club, and the move worked. Murray's given up at least four goals in two straight starts and four of his last seven outings, leaving him with a 2.73 GAA and .911 save percentage on the season, and Samsonov's sharp relief could tip the playing-time scales back in his favor.

Murray will patrol the home crease versus the Panthers on Tuesday, Sportsnet's Luke Fox reports.
EDGE Analysis
Murray was a little shaky in his last start Saturday against the Bruins, surrendering four goals on 34 shots en route to a 4-3 defeat. He'll try to get back in the win column in a home matchup with a Florida team that's 10-14-1 on the road this year.

Murray stopped 30 shots in Saturday's 4-3 loss to Boston.
EDGE Analysis
Auston Matthews gave the Maple Leafs a chance to at least earn a point in TD Garden -- the toughest building in the NHL this season for visitors -- by tying the game at 3-3 early in the third period, but Murray couldn't come up with a Matt Grzelcyk blast from the point with just over a minute left in regulation. The netminder has started six of the last nine games for Toronto and appears to be the team's current No. 1, but he's been far from consistent during that stretch, going 3-3-0 with a 3.02 GAA and .899 save percentage.

Murray will guard the road net versus Boston on Saturday, David Alter of Sports Illustrated reports.
EDGE Analysis
Murray has won his last two starts, giving up only three goals on 69 shots in victories over Philadelphia and Nashville. Murray is 11-4-0 with a 2.48 GAA and a .919 save percentage this season. He will have a tough matchup against the Bruins, who are the best team in the NHL this season with a 32-5-4 record.

Murray made 32 saves in Wednesday's 2-1 win over the Predators.
EDGE Analysis
Murray and Juuse Saros went save-for-save for most of this one, but Mitch Marner broke a 1-1 tie with 1:15 left in the third period to propel the home side to victory. The highlight of Murray's night came early in the first period, when he stopped Tanner Jeannot twice from in close, then dove backwards across the crease and made another save on Jeannot despite facing away from the puck. Murray boosted his record to 11-4-2 with the win.

Murray will protect the home net in Wednesday's game versus the Predators, David Alter of Sports Illustrated reports.
EDGE Analysis
Murray has alternated wins and losses over his last seven games, posting a 2.87 GAA and an .886 save percentage. The inconsistency is concerning, and he'll have a tough draw against the Predators, who have won seven of their last 10 contests.

Murray stopped 34 of 36 shots in a 6-2 win against Philadelphia on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Calle Jarnkrok put the Leafs on the board first with his goal at 9:51 of the first period, and Murray never surrendered Toronto's lead. He improved to 10-4-2 with a 2.57 GAA and .916 save percentage in 16 contests this season. It was a strong bounce back performance for Murray after allowing five goals on 26 shots in a 5-1 loss to Seattle on Thursday.
