Pittsburgh Penguins goaltender Matt Murray is teaming up with local sandwich chain Primanti Bros. to open a $5,000 tab for police officers in need during the COVID-19 pandemic.

"I want to thank the people on the front lines who put themselves at risk every day to keep us safe," Murray said in a statement, per Jason Mackey of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.

The initiative will begin Thursday.

Murray was drafted by Pittsburgh in 2012. The 25-year-old posted a .899 save percentage in 38 appearances during 2019-20 before the season came to a halt March 12.
