Connor Murphy Misses First Game Of The Season
1 day agoChicago Blackhawks defenseman Connor Murphy (groin) will be sidelined on Friday versus Montreal. He has sustained a groin injury and will be out for the first time this season. Murphy's campaign has gone reasonably well on a struggling team, and he is on pace for a career year offensively. In 38 appearances, Murphy has totaled 13 points (one goal, 12 assists). Murphy always puts in a shift defensively and has logged a team-high 93 blocks along with 70 hits. Wyatt Kaiser will replace Murphy in the lineup as Seth Jones' partner on the first defensive pairing. Kaiser's offensive contributions have been limited to one assist in 28 games, while he has amassed 54 blocks and 33 hits.
