The Pittsburgh Penguins’ star goaltender prospect, Matt Murray, has had an exceptional pro season debut in 2014-15.
In his first professional season with the AHL’s Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins, Murray posted a record of 25-9-3 while leading the league in goals-against-average (1.51), save-percentage (.943), and shutouts (12).
Murray’s 12 shutouts were in fact the most ever recorded by a rookie in AHL history. He also set the record for the AHL’s longest shutout streak, logging 304 minutes and 11 seconds without allowing a single goal.
The 20-year-old netminder’s play earned him the 2015 Dudley (Red) Garrett Memorial Award as the AHL’s top rookie.
