Penguins' Matt Murray: Takes part in practice

Murray (lower body) practiced with the team Monday.

Analysis:

This is an important step in the recovery process, although coach Mike Sullivan maintained Murray was still considered day-to-day. Given the Pens will likely have one more practice and a game-day skate before their next matchup, the 22-year-old could be available to serve in a backup role Wednesday if he continues to progress. Once he is cleared to play, the team will likely send Tristan Jarry back to the minors rather than carrying three goalies.
