Murray allowed four goals on 21 shots in Thursday's 6-3 loss to the Coyotes. The last two tallies were empty-netters.
EDGE Analysis
The Maple Leafs' four best forwards were held to zero points and a combined minus-12 rating, so it's not like Murray got much help here. The Coyotes ran away with it late in the third period. The 28-year-old goalie has alternated wins and losses in his last four appearances, and he's now at 8-3-2 with a 2.47 GAA and a .919 save percentage through 13 starts. Murray and Ilya Samsonov have split the starts fairly evenly throughout December, so it wouldn't be a shock for the latter to start Saturday in Colorado.

Murray made 18 saves in Tuesday's 4-1 win over the Lightning.
EDGE Analysis
He took a shutout into the third period before Vladislav Namestnikov banged home a greasy goal from right on his doorstep, but Murray handled everything else Tampa Bay threw at him. The 28-year-old netminder has just one regulation loss in 11 starts since making his mid-November return from a groin injury, going 8-1-2 with a 2.18 GAA and .932 save percentage, but for now he remains in a timeshare with Ilya Samsonov.

Murray will patrol the home crease during Tuesday's matchup with the Lightning, Mike Stephens of SI Now reports.
EDGE Analysis
Murray was a little shaky in his last start Thursday against the Rangers, surrendering two goals on just 19 shots en route to a 3-1 loss. He'll try to return to the win column in a tough home matchup with a red-hot Tampa Bay team that's won five straight games.

Murray made 17 saves in a 3-1 loss to the Rangers on Thursday. He allowed two goals.
EDGE Analysis
Filip Chytil scored a power-play goal early in the first period that appeared to ricochet off Leafs' defender Justin Holl. And Jimmy Vesey scored a pretty goal late in the second when took a pass, made a move around a sliding T.J. Brodie, and went backhand-forehand-roof on a short-side shot from the right circle. It was Murray's first regulation loss since his return from injury November 15 (7-1-2) and just his second since donning a Leafs' jersey.
