Penguins' Matt Murray: Patrolling crease against Senators

Murray will backstop the Penguins for their Thursday clash with the Senators, Steve Lloyd of TSN reports.

Analysis:

Murray shook off a pair of difficult outings to stop 29 of 30 shots versus the Sabres on Tuesday. The 22-year-old clearly has the trust of coach Mike Sullivan, who's allowed Murray to work through his missteps rather than immediately turning to backup Marc-Andre Fleury. That said, the Pens won't be able to afford any mistakes if they're going to chase down the Caps for the Metropolitan Division title.
