Matt Murray Out With An Ankle Injury
2 years agoToronto Maple Leafs goaltender Matt Murray is nursing an ankle injury and won't play in the team's final two games before the All-Star break. Murray missed a scheduled start Friday against Ottawa and the team has now confirmed that he's dealing with an ankle problem. The 28-year-old has performed very well when healthy this season, registering an 11-5-2 record with a 2.73 goals-against average and a .911 save percentage. Ilya Samsonov has also been strong with a 16-5-2 record, so Toronto likely won't miss Murray much. Samsonov will try to bounce back from his first home regulation loss on Sunday versus Washington.

2 years agoToronto Maple Leafs goaltender Matthew Murray (undisclosed) is set to undergo "significant" surgery, and it's unclear if he can play in 2023-24. "The surgical procedure will be (to do with) something he's been dealing with," general manager Brad Treliving said on Wednesday. "It wasn't an event, but he aggravated some stuff over the summer." He added that Murray will need months, not days or weeks, to recover. Murray had multiple health issues last season and played his final game on April 2, when he suffered a concussion.

Murray finished the season with a 14-8-2 record while posting a 3.01 goals-against average with a .903 save percentage and one shutout.

Ilya Samsonov Replaces Injured Starter Matt Murray
2 years agoToronto Maple Leafs goaltender Ilya Samsonov replaced Matt Murray (undisclosed) after he sustained an injury in Sunday's 5-2 loss against the Red Wings. Murray was involved in an accidental collision with Red Wings forward Lucas Raymond, which caused Murray to fall awkwardly to the ice. Samsonov entered the game in relief and stopped 14-of-16 shots on goal in the loss. Murray has been unlucky with injuries throughout the season, with the two-time Stanley Cup champion missing extended periods of time and being limited to 26 appearances. Samsonov has done a good job as the starter and he will take command in the crease with six games remaining in the regular season.
