Murray allowed two goals on 21 shots in the Penguins' 2-1 loss in New Jersey last Friday. Tristan Jarry started Saturday, so they come back to Murray tonight vs. the Islanders. In his last six starts, Murray has gone 2-1-2 with a 2.68 GAA and .894 SV%. With a ton of injuries in front of him, wins are going to be hard to come by but Murray should turn in strong splits. He stopped 20 of 23 shots in a 4-3 OT win in his first start vs. the Islanders.

It was another strong performance from Murray, who has won six of his last eight starts (6-1-1) while posting a 1.85 GAA, .932 SV% and one shutout. As good as he has been, the Bruins are a terrible matchup--they are 6-0-1 on home-ice and are sixth in goal-scoring (3.54 GF/gm).
