Penguins activate Murray from injured reserve

Help is on the way for the sputtering Pittsburgh Penguins, as the club announced Tuesday that starting netminder Matt Murray's been activated from injured reserve.

Murray was injured Nov. 27 against the Philadelphia Flyers, and missed the last six games with a lower-body injury.

Rookie Tristan Jarry has been decent in relief of Murray, registering a record of 3-2-0 and a .927 save percentage across six starts.

The Penguins take the ice next against the Vegas Golden Knights on Thursday, but the club has yet to announce which puckstopper will man the blue paint.

To make space for Murray on its roster, Pittsburgh sent third-string goaltender Casey DeSmith to the club's AHL affiliate.
