Penguins lose Matt Murray to lower-body injury

The two-time defending champion Pittsburgh Penguins lost starting goalie Matt Murray to a lower-body injury on Monday.

Murray exited with 4:21 left in the second period after Philadelphia's Jakub Voracek crashed into him during a breakaway. The 23-year-old managed to skate off under his own power before limping down the runway clearly favoring his right leg.

Tristan Jarry stepped in for Murray, and the Penguins rallied for a 5-4 overtime win.

Murray will be re-evaluated on Tuesday. In a sign that he could miss some time, Pittsburgh called up goalie Casey DeSmith from the AHL.
