Matt Murray's playoff appearances set to equal career regular-season mark

Matt Murray is about to have as much playoff as regular-season experience.

With a start in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Final against the Tampa Bay Lightning, the Pittsburgh Penguins rookie goalie will have an equal number of games played in both formats, with impressive numbers to boot.

The 2012 third-round pick was thrust into the fire in light of an injury to longtime No.1 option Marc-Andre Fleury, and has more than held his own.

He's played so well, in fact, that general manager Jim Rutherford was forced to address Fleury's long-term standing with the club, and it's expected Murray will certainly add to his regular-season resume in 2016-17.

For now, he'll keep building the postseason legend, with another round quite possibly on tap.
