Matt Murray - NHL News & Rumors

Logs shutout in AHL Murray posted a 37-save shutout in AHL Milwaukee's 3-0 win over Manitoba on Wednesday.

Impact Murray has won all four of his starts in the AHL this season. He's allowed just four goals on 115 shots in those games. Murray provides some quality as an organizational No. 3 goalie, but his time in the NHL will only come when Juuse Saros or Justus Annunen is dealing with an issue.

OCTOBER 29 • ROTOWIRE

Dropped from roster Murray has been reassigned to AHL Milwaukee on Thursday, per the NHL media site.

Impact In addition to Murray's demotion, the Preds have activated Justus Annunen (undisclosed) off injured reserve. While the 28-year-old Murray performed well in his only appearances for Nashville this year, stopping 18 of 20 shots in an overtime loss to Ottawa, the Alberta native will be hard-pressed to take over as the No. 2 option for the Predators, barring another injury.

Makes 18 saves in shootout loss Murray stopped 18 of 20 shots in Saturday's 3-2 shootout loss to the Senators.

Impact Murray helped protect a 2-0 first-period lead before conceding a power-play goal to Tim Stutzle in the second. He remained steady for much of the third period, but Drake Batherson tied the contest with 1:23 remaining in regulation, and the Senators would eventually win the game in the shootout. Despite the loss, he delivered a respectable performance. He should remain Nashville's No. 2 goaltender until Justus Annunen (undisclosed) is ready to return, and when that happens, Murray will likely head back to AHL Milwaukee. Given his role, Murray shouldn't carry a ton of fantasy appeal outside of specific matchup-based scenarios.

Getting start Saturday Murray will protect the road goal versus the Senators on Saturday, Brooks Bratten of the Predators' official site reports.

Impact Murray will make his NHL season debut, giving Juuse Saros a night off. Justus Annunen (undisclosed) is still not ready to return, but when he is, Murray is likely to head back to AHL Milwaukee. The Senators have scored 14 goals over four games this season.

OCTOBER 10 • ROTOWIRE

Heading back to Nashville Murray was recalled from AHL Milwaukee on Tuesday.

Impact Murray's move back to the majors Tuesday was in correspondence to Justus Annunen (undisclosed) being placed on injured reserve. The 28-year-old netminder served as the backup for Juuse Saros in Nashville's 2-1 win over the Stars on Saturday before being sent back to Milwaukee. Murray posted solid numbers in the 2025-26 regular season with the Admirals, compiling a 22-22-2 record, four shutouts, a 2.83 GAA and a .904 save percentage. During his stint in the majors, he'll likely appear in his first NHL game since the 2023-24 season.

OCTOBER 6 • ROTOWIRE

Returned to AHL Murray was assigned to AHL Milwaukee on Sunday.

Impact Nashville brought up forward Vitali Pinchuk from the minors in a corresponding move. Due to the absence of Justus Annunen (undisclosed), Murray served as Juuse Saros' backup in Saturday's 2-1 win over Dallas. Murray's demotion to the AHL could bode well for Annunen's availability for Tuesday's road matchup against Toronto.

OCTOBER 4 • ROTOWIRE

Summoned from AHL Murray was recalled from AHL Milwaukee on Saturday.

Impact Murray posted a 22-22-2 record with a 2.83 GAA and a .904 save percentage in 47 AHL regular-season games for Nashville's top minor-league affiliate in 2025-26. Justus Annunen didn't participate in Friday's practice and might not be available for Saturday's home matchup against Dallas.

OCTOBER 3 • ROTOWIRE

Put on waivers Murray was put on waivers by Nashville on Thursday, per Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports.

Impact Murray had a 2.83 GAA and a .904 save percentage in 47 regular-season appearances with AHL Milwaukee in 2025-26. Murray might get a chance to play for the Predators at some point during the upcoming campaign if Juuse Saros or Justus Annunen ever have to spend time on the shelf.

Impact Murray ended a three-game skid with this shutout, which was his fourth of the season. He's managed a 20-20-2 record with a 2.81 GAA and a .904 save percentage over 43 appearances, a far cry from his 2.07 GAA and .932 save percentage in the 2024-25 regular season.

Dropped to AHL Murray was assigned to AHL Milwaukee on Sunday, according to Nick Kieser of Lower Broad Hockey.

Up from AHL Murray was called up by Nashville on Thursday, per Nick Kieser of Lower Broad Hockey.

Impact Murray has a 2.72 GAA and a .908 save percentage in 37 outings with AHL Milwaukee in 2025-26. He hasn't played in the NHL yet this campaign. It remains to be seen why Murray was called up. Juuse Saros and Justus Annunen are both currently listed as being healthy, but if either of them is dealing with something, then Murray would presumably serve as the backup goaltender for Thursday's game against Seattle.

MARCH 19 • ROTOWIRE

Earns shutout for Milwaukee Murray posted a 32-save shutout in AHL Milwaukee's 4-0 win over Manitoba on Wednesday.

Impact Murray collected his third shutout of the season and the 12th of his AHL career. The strong performance improved his record to 17-17-2 with a 2.72 GAA and a .908 save percentage through 37 appearances.

Called up by Nashville Murray was recalled from AHL Milwaukee on Thursday.

Impact The Predators have resumed practicing during the final week of the Olympic break, and Murray's recall will allow him to serve as the team's goaltender during practice until Juuse Saros returns from the Olympics. However, Murray will presumably head back to the Admirals ahead of Nashville's game against Chicago on Feb. 26. Over 29 appearances with Milwaukee this year, Murray has gone 12-14-2 with a 2.86 GAA and .904 save percentage.

FEBRUARY 19 • ROTOWIRE
