Murray (upper body) is not ready to return Wednesday versus the Ducks.

EDGE Analysis

Murray will miss his third straight game, and with no reports of him being at practice, he's probably not going to be an option for Thursday versus the Kings, either. Kurtis MacDermid will continue to fill a third-pairing role while Murray is sidelined.

Murray (upper body) will not return to Friday's game against Arizona.

EDGE Analysis

Murray returned to the ice after missing 11 games with a lower-body injury. He'll take up residence on the third pairing alongside Erik Johnson, perhaps until Jack Johnson (lower body) returns from his injury.

Murray (lower body) was activated from long-term injured reserve Wednesday, per CapFriendly.

EDGE Analysis

Murray has been out since the start of December due to the injury. His activation off of LTIR suggests he'll be an option to play Thursday versus the Jets. He would likely take on a third-pairing role if Jack Johnson (lower body) can't go.

Murray (lower body) skated in a full-contact jersey Friday, Adrian Dater of Colorado Hockey Now reports.

EDGE Analysis

Both Murray and Bowen Byram (head) wore red sweaters Monday ahead of what was supposed to be Wednesday's home game against the Stars. The NHL has since postponed Wednesday's contest and a Friday rematch of the same teams in Dallas, which gives Murray an extra six days before the Avalanche's next game Sunday at home to Anaheim. The defenseman is tentatively scheduled to return next Tuesday, Jan. 4.

Murray (lower body) was moved to long-term injured reserve Tuesday, Peter Baugh of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Murray is already considered out indefinitely, so the change in IR status is more likely related to the Avs' cap situation. The blueliner hasn't scored a goal since the 2019-20 campaign with the Blue Jackets, so fantasy players shouldn't be expecting much out of him in terms of offensive production moving forward.

Murray (lower body) was placed on injured reserve Wednesday, per CapFriendly.

EDGE Analysis

Murray was ruled out indefinitely as of Monday, so this move comes as no surprise. The 28-year-old has weathered a lot of injuries since he entered the league in 2013-14. With no timeline to return, expect Murray's absence to be covered by Jack Johnson and Kurtis MacDermid.
