Murray has been out since mid-October due to a lower-body injury sustained in practice. The 28-year-old was hoping for a career resurgent season after being acquired by Toronto in the offseason but struggled in his only start allowing four goals on 23 shots (.826 SV%) in a loss to Montreal.
Daccord will make his first start of the season for Seattle after posting an ugly .850 SV% and 4.30 GAA with the Kraken last year. The 26-year-old even struggled prior to his call-up, posting a .880 SV% and 3.36 GAA for Coachella (AHL). He should face a ton of rubber as he takes on a Flames team that ranks third in the NHL in SOG per game with 37.4.
Philipp Grubauer's nightmarish season continued Tuesday as the Seattle Kraken placed him on injured reserve with a lower-body injury. There is no timetable for the 30-year-old netminder's return. He was struggling prior to the injury, losing both his starts while posting a .860 SV% and 3.77 GAA. Joey Daccord was recalled from the AHL in a corresponding move.
Grubauer will be looking for his first win of the 2022-23 season after dropping his last outing 5-1 to Carolina in a 29-save losing effort. He has struggled yet again after a rough first season in Seattle, as he currently is sporting a .851 SV% and 4.26 GAA in two starts on the year. He faces a very high-scoring Colorado team (4.25 GF) that is coming off a 4-3 overtime loss to Winnipeg its last time out.

Montour missed the last two games but will play Friday vs. the Lightning. With Aaron Ekblad out, Montour figures to be the PP1 quarterback for the Panthers moving forward. He may also play massive minutes at 5v5 next to Gustav Forsling. He had one goal and four shots in two games to open the season.
Brandon Montour is set to miss his second game of the early season Wednesday as it was announced he will miss Florida's matchup against Philadelphia with a lower-body injury. This comes as a blow to the blueline as the Panthers just lost Aaron Ekblad for 4-6 Weeks. Montour has a goal on four shots in his first two games in his second season as a member of the Florida Panthers.
Meyers scored one goal on two shots while playing just 7:53 ATOI in Colorado's first three games of the season. He'll go to the AHL to give Martin Kaut another shot after Kaut picked up three points (2G / 1A) in his first two AHL games.
Grubauer gets the start Monday as Seattle hosts the high-powered Carolina Hurricanes at home. The 11-year-veteran struggled mightily in the Krakens opening night loss to Anaheim, stopping 22 of 27 shots before losing 5-4 in overtime. He came in for relief against Vegas on Saturday, stopping six of six shots with Seattle taking the 5-2 loss.

Moving Murray to LTIR provides the Maple Leafs with some salary cap flexibility and will allow them to make some call-ups next week. With Murray out for at least one month, Ilya Samsonov figures to be very busy moving forward.
Murray was in-line to start Saturday's game vs. the Senators but left the morning skate early with discomfort in his groin. The Maple Leafs did not rule him out, but it seems likely that Ilya Samsonov will start so Murray's injury doesn't get worse.
