A groin injury sustained in the morning skate prior to his second scheduled start against his former team, the Senators — whose coach DJ Smith on Friday mentioned the incessant injuries as Murray’s biggest problem plaguing his time in Ottawa — will keep Murray out a minimum of 10 games or 24 days. Erik Källgren, who started 13 games for the Leafs last season (8-4-1, .888 save percentage), has been recalled to back up behind Ilya Samsonov.
