Matt Murray Gets The Nod Against Blue Jackets
6 years agoPittsburgh Penguins goaltender Matt Murray will be in net on Thursday night against the Columbus Blue Jackets. Murray has been stellar over his past two starts, posting a .957 save percentage while winning both games. The 24-year-old possesses a 21-10-3 record on the season to go along with a 2.87 goals-against average and .914 save percentage. He has had a few slumps, along with some injury trouble, but Murray has been relatively consistent since the start of December. He beat the Blue Jackets back on February 26, making 21 saves in a 5-2 win. The Blue Jackets sit 11th in the league in goals per game (3.11) and have a 20-10-1 record on the road. Murray has a tough matchup, but can still be utilized as an above-average fantasy option on Thursday's slate.
