Murray will be away from Penguins indefinitely following father's death

The Pittsburgh Penguins are giving Matt Murray all the time he needs to grieve.

Murray's father, James, died Tuesday in Ontario, and the Penguins goaltender will now miss an indefinite period of time to be with his family, the club revealed Wednesday.

He left the team last week and hasn't played since Jan. 7, when he came on in relief of Tristan Jarry in an overtime victory over the Boston Bruins.

The Penguins begin a three-game California road swing Wednesday night against the Anaheim Ducks.
