Murray had one shot, one blocked shot and a minus-1 rating in Thursday's 4-3 loss to the Capitals.

EDGE Analysis

This was a typical stat line for the third-pairing defenseman, who has just four assists without a goal in 23 games this season. It's safe to say a change of scenery from Columbus to New Jersey has done nothing to reinvigorate Murray's career, as the oft-injured second overall pick from the 2012 draft simply isn't an impact player.

EDGE Analysis

This is a bit of a surprise, and head coach Lindy Ruff didn't provide much detail about this decision. The 27-year-old doesn't have much offensive upside -- he's recorded just two points through 12 games this year -- but he is typically a solid defensive presence. He'll aim to get back in the lineup for Sunday's rematch versus the Caps.

EDGE Analysis

Murray finally got his first point as a member of the Devils in his seventh game with the team, assisting on Damon Severson's first-period goal.
