Penguins' Matt Murray: Dealing with thumb ailment
Murray, who injured his thumb Monday while playing against Team Russia, believes the injury is not serious. "It's minor," Murray told DK Pittsburgh Sports. "I just jammed my thumb."
Analysis:
The second-year Murray will battle veteran Marc-Andre Fleury for time in Pittsburgh's goal when the regular season opens. Murray has the backing of coach Mike Sullivan, but Fleury has served as the organization's No. 1 goalie for the past decade.
