LAS VEGAS — Matt Murray will return from a six-game absence when the Penguins take on the Vegas Golden Knights on Thursday at T-Mobile Arena.
It cements the goaltending matchup that everyone wanted — the Penguins’ current franchise netminder versus their last one, Marc-Andre Fleury — but it also might have some interesting ramifications moving forward.
Remember, when Murray was injured against the Flyers on Nov. 27, we didn’t know a ton about his backup, Tristan Jarry. It’s a different situation now,
In seven appearances since Murray went down, Jarry went 4-2-0 with a .920 save percentage and one shutout.
