Out for approximately six weeks Murray (lower body) is expected to be out of action for about six weeks, the team announced Tuesday.

Impact Seattle activated Joey Daccord (upper body) from injured reserve ahead of Tuesday's road matchup against Detroit, which vaults him back into the No. 1 position on the depth chart. Once Murray is healthy, he could compete with Philipp Grubauer for spare starts again. The 31-year-old Murray has gone 0-2-1 while allowing eight goals on 102 shots across five appearances this season.

Injured late in first period Murray (lower body) won't return to Saturday's game versus the Sharks.

Impact Murray sustained the injury on the Sharks' first goal, a power-play tally by Alexander Wennberg. This puts the Kraken's goalie depth in danger, as Joey Daccord (upper body) is still working his way back from a stint on injured reserve. Murray's status should be updated in the coming days, but if his injury is bad enough, he may find himself on IR.

First off ice Saturday Murray will patrol the home crease versus San Jose on Saturday, according to Mike Benton of the Kraken Audio Network.

Impact Murray has played well for the Kraken in a limited role. He is 0-2-1 with a 2.13 GAA and a .926 save percentage in four appearances this season. The Sharks are averaging 3.06 goals per game, a huge increase from last season when they were 32nd in the NHL, averaging only 2.54 goals per contest.

Good performance not enough Murray stopped 33 of 34 shots in Tuesday's 2-1 shootout loss to the Blue Jackets.

Impact Murray put in his best performance of the season so far, but he wasn't able to snag a win as Jet Greaves kept things level in the other crease. The 31-year-old Murray has allowed seven goals over four appearances (three starts) to begin his tenure with the Kraken, but he's 0-2-1. He's started the last two games over Philipp Grubauer and has likely earned additional time while Joey Daccord (upper body) is on the mend. It's quite possible Murray is playing for his roster spot, as it could be untenable for the Kraken to carry three goalies once Daccord is healthy.

Patrolling home blue paint Tuesday Murray was the first goaltender off at morning skate, according to Mike Benton of the Kraken Audio Network, which indicates he will draw the start at home against the Blue Jackets...

Impact Murray turned in a respectable showing Sunday against Dallas, stopping 23 of 25 shots, but his team provided him with just one goal en route to a 2-1 loss. If Murray continues to perform admirably, he could be the de facto No. 1 option over Philipp Grubauer while Joey Daccord is on injured reserve due to an upper-body injury. The Blue Jackets are coming off a 5-4 overtime loss in Edmonton on Monday, so the Kraken have the rest advantage Tuesday.

Remains winless after Sunday Murray stopped 22 of 24 shots in Sunday's 2-1 loss to the Stars.

Impact Murray was beaten twice in the first period, but even though he looked solid the rest of the way, he was unable to pick up his first win of the season. The 31-year-old goaltender has gone 0-2-0 with a 2.72 GAA and .900 save percentage in three appearances this season. However, as the backup behind Philipp Grubauer while Joey Daccord (upper body) is on the shelf, Murray isn't expected to see a lot of playing time any time soon.

Draws road start Murray will patrol the blue paint Sunday in Dallas, per the NHL media site.

Impact Murray will draw the start in the second half of Seattle's back-to-back set after Philipp Grubauer was in net during Saturday's 4-3 overtime win over St. Louis. The 31-year-old Murray has made two appearances this season, stopping a combined 32 of 36 shots, but he has yet to find the win column. The Stars also played Saturday, picking up a 5-4 win in Nashville. Dallas has generated 3.00 goals per game in 2025-26, which ranks 18th in the NHL.

Makes relief appearance Murray allowed a goal on three shots in relief of Joey Daccord in Wednesday's 6-1 loss to the Sharks.

Impact Murray came in after Daccord allowed a shorthanded goal to Ty Dellandrea. The first shot Murray faced was right after Tyler Toffoli exited the penalty box at the conclusion of a Kraken power play, and Toffoli was able to convert for the goal. This was Murray's second appearance with the Kraken, and he's allowed four goals on 36 shots so far. The 31-year-old is battling with Philipp Grubauer for backup duties, but Daccord's heavy workload has left little opportunity for the other two goalies to get time. One of Murray or Grubauer should be expected to start either Saturday in St. Louis or Sunday in Dallas.

Downed by Caps in season debut Murray turned aside 30 of 33 shots in Tuesday's 4-1 loss to Washington, with the Capitals' final goal getting scored into an empty net.

Impact Making his first appearance of the season on the second night of a back-to-back for the Kraken, Murray wasn't particularly sharp as he got clean looks at two of the long-range shots that beat him. Seattle is carrying three goalies to begin the year, and while Joey Daccord is locked into the No. 1 spot, Murray could wind up with the No. 2 spot if he out-plays Philipp Grubauer -- although Tuesday's effort didn't make a strong case for him to move up the depth chart.

Making team debut Murray will guard the road goal versus the Capitals on Tuesday, Tom Gulitti of NHL.com reports.

Impact Murray is set for his Kraken debut. The 31-year-old has been battling with Philipp Grubauer for backup duties, but Joey Daccord's strong play early on has left little playing time for the other two goalies on the Seattle roster. The Capitals are a tough foe, having scored 17 goals while going 4-2-0 to start the season.

OCTOBER 21 • ROTOWIRE

Set to start Friday Murray will protect the road goal in Friday's preseason game versus the Canucks, per the NHL media site.

Impact Murray will get the nod, though it's possible he'll split the game with Philipp Grubauer. Those two netminders are competing to be Joey Daccord's backup in 2025-26, though there is a slight chance the Kraken carry three goalies to avoid losing Murray on waivers.

Signs one-year deal Murray signed a one-year, $1 million contract with Seattle on Tuesday.

Impact Murray posted a 10-5-4 record with a 1.72 GAA and a .934 save percentage across 21 outings with AHL Toronto in 2024-25. The 31-year-old netminder only appeared in three regular-season contests with AHL Toronto in 2023-24 due to bilateral hip surgery. Murray might start the 2025-26 campaign in the minors because Joey Daccord and Philipp Grubauer are ahead of him on the Seattle depth chart.

Needed in relief in Game 5 Murray turned aside six of seven shots Wednesday after replacing Joseph Woll early in the third period of the Maple Leafs' 6-1 loss to the Panthers in Game 5 of their second-round...

Impact The lopsided result should be laid firmly at the feet of Toronto's defensive effort, as neither goalie had much chance at any of the pucks that got past them. Anthony Stolarz (upper body) hasn't played since Game 1, and if he's not ready to return in Game 6 on Friday, it's at least possible the desperate Leafs turn to Murray between the pipes as they attempt to avoid elimination.
