Penguins goaltender Matt Murray did not practice Wednesday and is being evaluated for an upper body injury. Penguins head coach Mike Sullivan said Murray is not being evaluated for a concussion and is being listed as day-to-day.
Mirrored in an up and down season, the 24 year old netminder is 15-9-1 with a 2.97 GAA and .909 save percentage on the season. Murray allowed 3 goals on 31 shots in Tuesday’s 4-0 loss to the Hurricanes. Murray is 2-3 with a .902 save percentage in his last five games as his play has started to slip after a great 9-10 game stretch.
Murray’s injury woes combined with Casey DeSmith’s play also tailing off, increase the chances of Tristan Jarry sticking around past the deadline.
