Murray (groin) was on the ice Tuesday, David Alter of Sports Illustrated reports.
EDGE Analysis
Murray shared a net with Keith Petruzzelli. Erik Kallgren, who is expected to start Tuesday against Vegas, got the other goal to himself. Coach Sheldon Keefe believes Murray will join the Leafs for the full practice Wednesday. Murray was projected to miss at least four weeks as of Oct. 15, but he's believed to be ahead of schedule. With Ilya Samsonov (knee) unavailable, the Leafs could certainly use Murray now more than ever.

Murray (groin) is "probably ahead of schedule" and is expected to be at Tuesday's practice, Mark Masters of TSN.ca reports.
EDGE Analysis
Ilya Samsonov (knee) was placed on injured reserve Sunday, so Murray's return is even more important for the Maple Leafs. Murray allowed four goals on 23 shots in his only appearance this season. If he continues trending in the right direction, he could be back in action Friday against the Penguins, his former team.

Murray (groin) has started skating in a limited capacity but is no closer to getting back into action, David Alter of Sports Illustrated reports Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Murray's initial timeline was at least four weeks on the shelf but this latest update would seem to indicate he will be out beyond that mark. Until the 28-year-old netminder is cleared to play, Ilya Samsonov figures to carry the workload with Erik Kallgren serving as the backup.

Murray will be sidelined for at least four weeks with an adductor injury.
EDGE Analysis
The Maple Leafs placed Murray on the long-term injured reserve list Saturday. This is unfortunately a scenario that was feared when Toronto acquired Murray over the summer given Murray's injury history. With Murray sidelined, Ilya Samsonov will likely get the bulk of the Leafs' starts. Murray and Samsonov were in competition for the number one job going into the season, so this is a big opportunity for Samsonov to gain an edge in that battle. As previously reported, Toronto called up Erik Kallgren to serve as Samsonov's understudy.

Murray (groin) is listed on injured reserve, per the NHL media site.
EDGE Analysis
It is believed that Murray could be on long-term injured reserve for cap purposes because Erik Kallgren has appeared on Toronto's roster ahead of Saturday's game against Ottawa. If Murray has been moved to LTIR, then he will be unavailable for at least 10 games and 24 days of the season. The Leafs netminder left the morning skate early after experiencing some groin discomfort.

Murray left practice early with groin discomfort Saturday, Kristen Shilton of ESPN reports.
EDGE Analysis
Murray was the expected starter Saturday against his former club, the Senators, but it may not happen due to the possible injury. Murray struggled in his opening game in a Toronto uniform, giving up four goals on 23 shots in a 4-3 loss to Montreal on Wednesday. Ilya Samsonov should see more playing time for the duration of Murray's absence.

Murray yielded the game-winner with 19 seconds to play Wednesday as the Canadiens edged the Maple Leafs 4-3.
EDGE Analysis
Murray, who was acquired from the Senators last July, earned the starting nod thanks to a strong preseason. Murray is coming off an injury-plagued season in which he earned just five wins in 20 starts and spent time in the minors. Among his saves, Murray stopped Alexander Kerfoot's first career penalty shot at 2:40 of the second period, keeping tied at 2-2. The two-time Stanley Cup champion likely will continue to share starting duties with another newcomer, Ilya Samsonov.

Murray will start Wednesday's regular-season opener on the road against Montreal, David Alter of Sports Illustrated reports.
EDGE Analysis
Murray will get the first half of Toronto's back-to-back situation to begin the 2022-23 season and Ilya Samsonov will start Thursday versus his former Washington teammates. Murray played well in the preseason and makes for an intriguing high-risk, high-reward goaltending option for fantasy managers this year.

Murray is expected to start in Saturday's preseason game against Detroit, per Lance Hornby of The Toronto Sun.
EDGE Analysis
Murray is also likely to be between the pipes in Toronto's season opener against Montreal on Wednesday. He had an up-and-down season with Ottawa last season, finishing with a 5-12-2 record, 3.05 GAA, and .906 save percentage in 20 starts.

Murray is expected to play the whole 60 minutes against the Canadiens on the road Monday, David Alter of Sports Illustrated reports.
EDGE Analysis
Murray stopped all 16 shots he faced in his previous preseason outing versus Montreal before exiting after two periods. The 28-year-old netminder remains in a battle with Ilya Samsonov for the starting job in Toronto, a contest that likely won't be entirely determined once the season kicks off. At this point, fantasy players should probably prepare for a split share of the workload unless one of the duo can separate himself.
