Penguins' Matt Murray: Gets starting nod Thursday

Murray will tend the twine Thursday against the Panthers, Michelle Crechiolo of Pens Inside Scoop reports.

Analysis:

Murray will be back in the crease after coming into Monday's matchup in relief of Marc-Andre Fleury. Coach Mike Sullivan appears content to let the two netminders battle it out with the hot hand usually seeing the starting minutes. The 22-year-old Murray has a significant edge in terms of GAA (2.01) and save percentage (.931), and he's delivered eight wins in 10 appearances to Fleury's eight in 18. While the goalie split makes things difficult for season-long owners, both players are worth a look in daily formats.
