Matt Murray is inching ever closer to his regular-season debut.
The Pittsburgh Penguins goaltender is serving as Marc-Andre Fleury's backup on Tuesday night. It's the first time Murray has dressed for a game this season, since breaking his hand during the World Cup of Hockey as a member of Team North America.
Murray made quite an impression during his first taste of the NHL last season, constructing a record of 9-2-1 in 13 games with a 2.00 goals-against average and a .930 save percentage, before backstopping the club to its first Stanley Cup since 2009.
