Penguins' Murray week to week with lower-body injury

Pittsburgh Penguins goaltender Matt Murray is week to week after suffering a lower-body injury, head coach Mike Sullivan announced Thursday.

Murray left Wednesday's contest versus the Carolina Hurricanes after two periods and gave way to Marc-Andre Fleury, who made 19 saves in securing the victory.

Fleury was usurped on the depth chart by Murray during the postseason, as the rookie backstopped the Penguins all the way to the Stanley Cup and into this season.

Now, with his future at the club unclear as a result of incessant trade speculation, Fleury will have an opportunity to prove his worth to the franchise that drafted him first overall in 2003.

Murray signed a three-year, $11.25-million extension with the Penguins in October, and has put together a sparkling campaign thus far. The 22-year-old is 13-3-1 with a 2.18 goals against average and .928 save percentage.
