Pittsburgh Penguins goaltender Matt Murray will make his season debut on Wednesday night.

The 22-year-old will be between the pipes for the first time this season - since breaking his hand while backstopping Team North America at the World Cup of Hockey last month - when the Penguins take on the Anaheim Ducks, the team confirmed.

Murray was medically cleared and returned to serve as Marc-Andre Fleury's backup last week. The Penguins have collected wins in three straight games, even with Fleury currently riding a subpar 3.09 GAA and .909 save percentage.
