Murray was first off the ice at the Penguins' morning skate on Thursday.

Murray stopped 30 of 33 shots in the Penguins’ 6-3 victory over the Senators on Tuesday. The Penguins don’t need Murray to play particularly well right now; they’ve scored 4.42 goals per game over their last seven. In that same seven-game stretch, Murray has gone 5-0-1 with a mediocre .916 SV%. He and the Penguins draw a tough matchup tonight in the Kings.

Murray will start Friday in Dallas.

Murray allowed four goals on 25 shots in the Penguins win over the Golden Knights on Tuesday. Since returning to the Penguins crease, Murray is 3-0-0 with a 3.33 GAA and .900 SV%. The 23-year-old has not been nearly as good on the road as he has on home ice. Luckily for him he catches the Stars on the tail-end of a back-to-back, but they’ve been one of the best home teams in the NHL this season.

Murray (personal) makes his return to the Penguins crease on Tuesday.

Murray stopped all six shots he faced in relief to earn an overtime win vs. the Bruins on January 7th. He has been either sidelined with a personal matter or serving as Casey DeSmith’s backup ever since, but will return to the cage tonight vs. the Sharks. It has been a difficult month for Murray, but he will try and return to hockey tonight on home ice, where he is 9-4-1 with a 2.65 GAA and .918 SV% this season.

Schwartz (ankle) won’t play Tuesday but is a possibility to play on Thursday.

Grubauer will start Friday vs. the Canadiens.

Murray (personal) has left the team to return to Ontario following the passing of his father.

Murray missed two games to attend to a family matter before joining his team on their Californian road-trip. It seemed like Murray was on-pace to start Wednesday’s game but his dad passed away so Murray will return home for an indefinite period of time.
