Matt Murray OUT

Matt Murray to man the crease for Pittsburgh Thursday

Pittsburgh Penguins goalie Matt Murray will start in goal on Thursday against the Columbus Blue Jackets.

What It Means:

Murray has shown improvements from what was already a really solid rookie season last year, recording a .938 save percentage and 1.85 goal-against average through 17 games this year, with an excellent 13-2-1 record.

Our models are fairly high on Murray tonight, projecting him for 25.1 saves, 2.3 goals against and a 57.0 percent chance of scoring the win -- making him our fifth-ranked fantasy goalie among the 20 starters taking the ice.
