Penguins' Murray dealing with lower-body injury, no timetable for return

Pittsburgh Penguins goaltender Matt Murray suffered a lower-body injury, and there's no time frame for his return, head coach Mike Sullivan announced Thursday.

Murray was injured in the warmup before Game 1 versus Columbus on Wednesday night, and didn't dress for the contest. Marc-Andre Fleury filled in admirably, making 31 saves as the Pens jumped out to a 1-0 series lead.

It's a strange coincidence for Murray and the Penguins, who dealt with virtually the same scenario last postseason. Upon an injury to Fleury early in the first round, Murray took over the crease in relief and never relinquished it, leading Pittsburgh to a Stanley Cup.

Whether Fleury can do the same this time around remains to be seen.

Sullivan announced Fleury will start Game 2 on Friday, with rookie Tristan Jarry set for backup duties.
