Murray immediately went to the dressing room after the non-penalized play, giving way to Ilya Samsonov. Maple Leafs head coach Sheldon Keefe said Murray was tested for a concussion, but there's no update on his status, according to Sportsnet's Luke Fox.

Detroit scored twice on seven shots before Murray departed and ultimately earned a 5-2 victory on the strength of a hat trick from Dylan Larkin.

Murray has already had two significant absences this season. He was sidelined with an adductor ailment in October and returned from a 17-game ankle-injury absence in early March.

The 28-year-old entered Sunday's game with a 14-8-2 record and a .905 save percentage in his debut season with the Leafs. Toronto acquired him in an offseason trade with the Ottawa Senators.
