Sergei Murashov - NHL News & Rumors

Struggles continue in Vegas Murashov stopped 14 of 19 shots in Saturday's 6-2 loss to the Golden Knights. The sixth goal was an empty-netter.

Impact Murashov will have to wait for his first win, as he turned in his worst start of the campaign. The 22-year-old netminder is having some trouble adjusting to the NHL, allowing 14 goals on 120 shots over four starts. It's unclear how long a leash the Penguins will give Murashov when they have a more experienced goalie in Joel Blomqvist waiting in the AHL. Expect Arturs Silovs back between the pipes for Monday's game in Utah.

In goal Saturday Murashov will tend the twine on the road versus the Golden Knights on Saturday, Michelle Crechiolo of the Penguins' official site reports.

Impact Murashov will make his fourth appearance of the season while he remains in search of his first win. He has allowed nine goals on 99 shots over his first three games. The Golden Knights have scored 15 goals over their last four contests and will be a tough test for a young goalie.

Concedes four goals Tuesday Murashov stopped 15 of 19 shots on net in Tuesday's 5-3 loss to the Blackhawks.

Impact Murashov displayed some heart from the middle of the second period to late in the third by aiding in the Penguins' comeback attempt, but he ultimately surrendered the game-winning tally with just over four minutes remaining. The 22-year-old netminder has been kept out of the win column to begin the 2026-27 campaign, where he's compiled an 0-2-1 record, a 3.00 GAA and a .909 save percentage across three appearances. While he's yet to make up much ground on Arturs Silovs for Pittsburgh's starting job between the pipes, he's displayed great flashes of play in his losses, including a 43-save effort in a 3-2 loss to the Blue Jackets on Friday. Once he proves he can close out games at the NHL level, he'll be a solid streaming option in fantasy.

Teuvo Teravainen helps the Blackhawks beat the Penguins 5-3 in Connor Bedard's season debut

Teuvo Teravainen and Roman Kantserov scored two goals apiece, and the Chicago Blackhawks topped the Pittsburgh Penguins 5-3 in Connor Bedard’s first game of the season

In goal against Hawks Murashov will be between the pipes for Tuesday's road clash with Chicago, Michelle Crechiolo of the Penguins' official site reports.

Impact Murashov has yet to pick up his first win of the season, despite posting a combined 2.46 GAA and .938 save percentage across his two starts. If the 22-year-old backstop continues to perform at this level, he should be able to at least force his way into a split-share crease, if not push for the No. 1 job outright.

OCTOBER 13 • ROTOWIRE

Tested often in shootout loss Murashov stopped 43 of 45 shots in Friday's 3-2 shootout loss to the Blue Jackets.

Impact Murashov was kept busy in this outing, but he was able to steal a standings point with a good performance. The 22-year-old netminder has allowed just five goals on 80 shots over two outings this season, but he has a 0-1-1 record to show for it. Murashov and Arturs Silovs may settle into splitting the workload if both are playing well. Expect Silovs to get the nod for Saturday's home game versus the Stars.

Exits ice first Murashov was the first goalie to leave the ice Friday, Dan Kingerski of Pittsburgh Hockey Now reports, indicating he'll tend the twine on the road against Columbus.

Impact Murashov will make his second appearance of the year after giving up three goals on 35 shots in a loss to Winnipeg on Monday. With Arturs Silovs underwhelming, he's posted a 3.37 GAA across three games; the door is open for the 22-year-old Murashov to see more opportunities in the crease for the Penguins.

OCTOBER 9 • ROTOWIRE

Stops 30 shots in loss Murashov stopped 30 of 33 shots in Monday's 3-2 loss to the Jets.

Impact Murashov got the start after Arturs Silovs allowed five goals on 25 shots in Saturday's overtime win over Montreal, and while he responded with a .909 save percentage, it wasn't enough to lift the Penguins to victory here. Expect Murashov to return to his regular backup role when Pittsburgh takes on Washington on Wednesday.

Impact Murashov didn't appear in either of the Penguins' first two games of the regular season.

Murashov made five regular-season appearances for the Penguins last year and went 1-1-2 with a 2.56 GAA and .897 save percentage.

SEPTEMBER 29 • Associated Press

Tough outing Thursday Murashov allowed three goals on 16 shots in Thursday's 4-0 preseason loss to the Blue Jackets.

Impact Murashov was playing behind a largely AHL-level roster for this game, while the Blue Jackets brought a more experienced group. He has allowed three goals on 29 shots over two appearances this preseason. As a rookie, Murashov could be given another chance to play Saturday versus the Sabres, though the Penguins may want to give Arturs Silovs a second chance to get work in after he gave up seven goals versus the Red Wings on Tuesday. Murashov may have to settle for timeshare usage early in 2026-27, but he'll get every chance to win the No. 1 job outright.

SEPTEMBER 25 • ROTOWIRE

Starting in Columbus Murashov will start Thursday's preseason game on the road against Columbus, Dan Potash of SportsNet Pittsburgh reports.

Impact Murashov was sharp during Monday's preseason opener against Buffalo, turning aside all 13 shots he faced in the victory. He played approximately half of that matchup but is expected to play the full game against Columbus. The 22-year-old is competing for a roster spot with the Penguins ahead of the 2026-27 regular season.

SEPTEMBER 24 • ROTOWIRE

Doesn't allow goal in preseason opener Murashov turned aside all 13 shots he faced in Monday's 4-1 preseason win over Buffalo.

Impact Murashov played the first half of Monday's contest, while Joel Blomqvist finished out the game. The Penguins goaltending depth chart is murky at this time, and it seems unlikely that the team will carry three goaltenders for much, if any, of the regular season. General manager Kyle Dubas said Aug. 22 his expectation is that Murashov and and Blomqvist will be competing for a roster spot this year, so it's a situation to keep an eye on as training camp continues.

SEPTEMBER 22 • ROTOWIRE

First goalie off Monday Murashov was the first goalie off during Monday's morning skate, Dan Potash of SportsNet Pittsburgh reports, indicating that he'll draw the home preseason start against the Sabres.

Impact Murashov is slated to compete for a roster spot with the Penguins ahead of the 2026-27 regular season, and he'll draw the start during the team's preseason opener Monday.

Impact Murashov will compete with Joel Blomqvist for an NHL spot during training camp in September. Both netminders are exempt from waivers and could battle with Arturs Silovs for playing time in the 2026-27 campaign. The 22-year-old Murashov had a 24-9-4 record, a 2.20 GAA and a .919 save percentage across 38 regular-season games with AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton in 2025-26. He also went 1-1-2 with a 2.56 GAA and an .897 save percentage over five NHL appearances with Pittsburgh during the first half of the year.

Impact Murashov earned the first playoff shutout of his AHL career. He's gone 4-1 with a 1.59 GAA and a .947 save percentage over five playoff games.

MAY 13 • ROTOWIRE

Impact Murashov had been serving as Pittsburgh's third goalie during the playoffs behind Arturs Silovs and Stuart Skinner. The 22-year-old Murashov posted a 24-9-4 record with a 2.20 GAA and a .919 save percentage in 38 AHL appearances during the 2025-26 regular season.

APRIL 26 • ROTOWIRE

Up from AHL Murashov was recalled from AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton on Wednesday, Seth Rorabaugh of Tribune-Review Sports reports.

Impact Since Wilkes-Barre/Scranton has a bye through the first round of the AHL postseason, Murashov will spend a little time with the big club as a third goalie. The 22-year-old will likely be swapped out for a different netminder once the Baby Pens' playoff run begins.

APRIL 22 • ROTOWIRE

Logs AHL shutout Murashov posted a 27-save shutout in AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton's 8-0 win over Rochester on Saturday.

Impact Murashov has four shutouts this season. He's up to 24-9-4 with a 2.20 GAA and a .919 save percentage over 38 appearances this season. Murashov has impressed and likely isn't too far from competing for an NHL job on a full-time basis.
