Matt Murray is being evaluated for an injury after leaving Monday’s practice early, Penguins coach Mike Sullivan said.
Murray left the ice at the UPMC Lemieux Sports Complex with a few minutes to go after an Olli Maatta shot hit him in the head.
Should an injury — potentially a concussion — force Murray to miss time, either Tristan Jarry or Casey DeSmith would take over, assuming general manager Jim Rutherford doesn’t trade for a goalie before the NHL trade deadline at 3 p.m. Monday.
Kessel gets maintenance day
Phil Kessel missed Monday’s session, but it was simply for a maintenance day, Sullivan said.
