Matt Murray has been the Pittsburgh Penguins‘ go-to goalie since Marc-Andre Fleury got hurt in late March, and he’s now cemented his place in the lineup even with Fleury healthy. He’s 7-3 in the playoffs this year and has made quite a few highlight reel saves during that time.
This afternoon, Penguins head coach Mike Sullivan announced that Murray would get the start tomorrow in game two against the Tampa Bay Lightning. That was to be expected, really, but it’s amazing to see how much faith the coaching staff and team has in the twenty one year old goalie.
