PITTSBURGH — Pittsburgh Penguins goaltender Matt Murray is out indefinitely with a concussion.
Coach Mike Sullivan said Murray suffered the concussion during practice Monday and reported potential symptoms immediately afterward. Sullivan did not offer specifics on the nature of the contact that led to the injury.
This is the third time in his NHL career the 24-year-old Murray has been diagnosed with a concussion.
He struggled during the opening week of the season. He allowed six goals in an overtime victory over Washington and then let in five in a loss to Montreal.
Casey DeSmith will get the first chance at replacing Murray.
