Toronto Maple Leafs Head Coach Reveals Major Update Regarding Matt Murray
Goalie Matt Murray underwent significant surgery this past summer, and while his recovery was initially projected to be lengthy, there's now hope for an earlier comeback.
Sheldon Keefe Provides Encouraging Update on Murray
When asked about Murray's progress, Head Coach Sheldon Keefe shared some positive news about the veteran goalie.
"Keefe says Murray is progressing well and has been seeing pucks now."
While this update doesn't provide specifics on Murray's return timeline, it marks a significant step forward in his potential comeback to the NHL, especially considering initial expectations ruled out a return this season.
During his one year with Toronto, Murray posted a .903 save percentage and a 3.01 goals-against average. With uncertainties surrounding Ilya Samsonov's performance and injuries affecting Joseph Woll, Murray's potential return could be a game-changer for the Maple Leafs, especially as they gear up for the playoffs.
