Murray (back) was recalled from his conditioning loan Sunday, per CapFriendly.

EDGE Analysis

Murray dressed in two games with AHL Bakersfield before returning to the Oilers. He hasn't appeared in an NHL game since November and his status for Monday's tilt with the Kings is unclear.

Murray (back) was loaned to AHL Bakersfield on a conditioning assignment Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Murray has been out of action since Nov. 21, missing the last 61 games with the injury. He has three assists in 13 games with the Oilers this season. Look for Murray to be a depth defenseman for Edmonton in the playoffs.

Murray (back) is "weeks" away from rejoining the lineup, Daniel Nugent-Bowman of The Athletic reports. The 29-year-old defender was also moved to long-term injured reserve Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Given his recovery timetable, we likely won't see Murray back in action until after the All-Star break. Either way, he's only picked up three helpers through 13 games this season, so fantasy managers shouldn't need to track his status.

Murray (back) was placed on injured reserve Friday, Daniel Nugent-Bowman of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Murray last played Nov. 21 and has battled back problems his entire career. The Oilers needed to place someone on injured reserve as Ryan McLeod (high ankle sprain) was activated Friday. Murray has three assists in 13 games this season.

Murray notched an assist and three hits in Saturday's 4-3 overtime win over the Golden Knights.

EDGE Analysis

Murray has an assist in each of the last two games, giving him three on the year. He's added 11 hits, 12 blocked shots, eight shots on goal and a minus-4 rating through 12 appearances. He may still get scratched on occasion, but the newfound offense might help him stay in the lineup over Markus Niemelainen when the Oilers dress only six blueliners.

Murray earned his second assist this season during Wednesday's 3-1 loss to the visiting Kings.

EDGE Analysis

Murray, who had been held pointless for nine consecutive contests, earned his first helper since Oct. 15. The 29-year-old defenseman did the dirty work to get the Oilers on the board Wednesday. Murray denied Blake Lizotte's clearing attempt from exiting the offensive zone. Zach Hyman gained control and scored the Oilers' lone goal on a second-period backhander. Murray, the 2012 No. 2 overall draft pick, did not have a shot Wednesday for the fifth time in 11 outings.

Murray produced an assist, three hits and a minus-2 rating in Saturday's 4-3 loss to the Flames.

EDGE Analysis

Murray set up Ryan McLeod's second-period tally to get the Oilers within one. The assist was Murray's first point as an Oiler in his second game with the team. The second overall pick from 2012 had just four helpers in 37 games with the Avalanche last year, and he's never reached the 30-point mark. The 29-year-old has played on the third pairing to begin his Edmonton career, so there's not a lot of fantasy upside here.

The Oilers signed Murray to a one-year, $750,000 contract Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Murray had four assists in 37 games with Colorado last season while averaging 14:05 minutes. He didn't appear in any postseason contests during the Avalanche's run to a Stanley Cup championship. Injuries hampered him during his tenure with Colorado, but he also served in a limited role while healthy. Still, he's turning just 29 on Sept. 27 and he's played as a top-four defenseman at times in the past, so he's someone to keep an eye on going into the Oilers' training camp.

Murray (hand) has been deemed healthy enough to play ahead of Tuesday's Game 1 versus St. Louis, Peter Baugh of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Although Murray's recovered from his hand injury, he isn't expected to be in the lineup for Tuesday's clash with the Blues. It may take an injury for Murray to enter the lineup during Colorado's playoff run.

Murray (hand) remains out of action for Thursday's Game 2 versus the Predators, Peter Baugh of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Murray has missed 21 games in a row while recovering from a broken hand. There still isn't a clear timeline for his return, nor is he guaranteed a place in the lineup once he's available to play.
