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.

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. He made 38 regular-season appearances with AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton last year, going 24-9-4 with a 2.20 GAA and .919 save percentage.

SEPTEMBER 21 • ROTOWIRE

Set to compete for roster spot Murashov appears to have the edge for a roster spot with Pittsburgh ahead of the 2026-27 season, according to Wes Crosby of NHL.com on Saturday.

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.

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.

Called up from minors Murashov was recalled from AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton on Tuesday.

Impact Murashov has played in five NHL games this season in which he is sporting a 1-1-2 record, 2.56 GAA and one shutout. With the Baby Pens, the 22-year-old backstop has been hard to beat, going 23-8-3 with a .922 save percentage and three shutouts. Widely considered the Pens' goalie of the future, that could start now with both Stuart Skinner (eye) and Arturs Silovs underwhelming in recent performances.

APRIL 7 • ROTOWIRE

Secures AHL shutout Murashov posted a 25-save shutout in AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton's 4-0 win over Bridgeport on Sunday.

DECEMBER 14, 2025 • Associated Press

Earns start Sunday Murashov will start Sunday's game against the Mammoth, Penguins play-by-play announcer Josh Getzoff reports.

Impact The debut of Stuart Skinner will continue to have to wait. Murashov was recalled on an emergency basis Saturday, and he'll make the start Sunday with the team on the second of a back-to-back and Skinner remaining unavailable due to issues with his immigration paperwork. It's been a small sample size, but the 21-year-old Murashov has been solid this season, going 1-1-1 with a 1.90 GAA and a .913 save percentage.

DECEMBER 14, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Recalled on emergency basis Murashov was called up from AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton on an emergency basis Saturday.

Impact The Penguins needed a backup goaltender as Stuart Skinner was unable to acquire a working visa in time for Saturday's tilt against San Jose. Murashov will back up Arturs Silovs and will remain with the Penguins until Skinner is able to secure the visa.

DECEMBER 13, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Earns AHL shutout Murashov posted a 34-save shutout in AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton's 3-0 win over Hartford on Wednesday.

Impact Murashov picked up his eighth win and second shutout in 11 outings for the Baby Pens this season. He's 8-2-0 with a 1.56 GAA and a .943 save percentage in the AHL, and he also went 1-1-1 with a shutout over four games in the NHL. Murashov looks to be the Penguins' goalie of the future, though the organization will be happy to see him have at least one dominant full season in the minors before giving him a longer NHL look.

DECEMBER 11, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Returns to minors Murashov was reassigned to AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton on Wednesday.

Impact Murashov has a 1-1-1 record, 1.90 GAA and .913 save percentage in four appearances with Pittsburgh this season. Although Murashov held his own when called upon, he's the odd man out now that Tristan Jarry (lower body) has been activated off injured reserve. Jarry is set to start at home against Buffalo on Wednesday, while Arturs Silovs will serve as the understudy. If Jarry or Silovs become unavailable later in the campaign, then Murashov will probably be recalled.

NOVEMBER 26, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Tagged with OT loss Saturday Murashov stopped 18 of 21 shots in Saturday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Kraken.

Impact Murashov entered this game with a 1-1-0 record while tallying one shutout, a 1.53 GAA and a .932 save percentage across three appearances in his first NHL campaign. He wasn't able to maintain the strong start here, but the ups and downs are common among young goaltenders. Murashov should return to his No. 2 role when the Penguins take on the Sabres on Wednesday, allowing Arturs Silovs to return to his regular role between the pipes.
