Rob Rossi of The Athletic: A welcome sight for Pittsburgh Penguin fans but not necessarily Jim Rutherford, would be a Murray second-half rebound. Murray said he “felt good” was not an indication of contentment as much as some progress. It has been a rough year for Murray, who has won four times since Halloween. Tristan Jarry garners more and more starts with his play while Murray has struggled.
Ultimately, Pittsburgh needs Murray to be that thief who played a lights-out second half against the Nashville Predators. Anything less dooms both Murray and the Pittsburgh Penguins.
