Top Goalie Prospect Sergei Murashov Shows Just Why He's Made to be the Penguins' Number One Goalie
The Pittsburgh Penguins have some promising goalies in the organization, and recent answers from Sergei Murashov show why he's got as much potential as any.
Drafted in the fourth round of the 2022 NHL Draft, Sergei Murashov has emerged this season as a potential future No. 1 goaltender for the Pittsburgh Penguins, especially with Tristan Jarry's future up in the air.
In his first season at the AHL level, Murashov has tallied a 2.63 GAA along with a .916 save percentage in 13 games played, and it's got Penguins fans incredibly excited about the 21-year old.
While he may be just 21, Murashov is seemingly mature well beyond his age, as he recently answered a question about consistency and that being the key to his recent success, and it should impress fans.
Well it's interesting actually. You wake up, open your eyes, and just ask yourself, what do I want from this day, what do I want from my life? Just going moment by moment, I think mindfulness is the only way to live life happily.
So actually, I love this. So, sometimes the mind is going from the moment, and. you aren't as consistent as you want, but it's also a part of learning.
So I think consistency is a really interesting, challenging thing, which I like to do, actually.

That shows maturity much beyond his age, and with the talent on the ice, he continues to reiterate just how grateful he is to be getting these opportunities.
"I'm really grateful for these opportunities I have. Enjoy the day, moments, working with guys, coaches. It's really precious. It's my way. I love the Marcus Aurelius quotation, what stands in your way is your way. So, it's all my way, and I really love it."
At 21-years of age, it's hard to predict the future for a goaltender, but Murashov has not only the size and the skill, but also the maturity and likability off the ice, so don't be surprised to see the organization get behind him in a big way moving forward.
