Murray out week to week with lower-body injury

Pittsburgh Penguins goaltender Matt Murray suffered a lower-body injury Monday versus the Philadelphia Flyers, and will be out week to week, head coach Mike Sullivan announced Tuesday.

Murray exited the contest late in the second period after Flyers forward Jakub Voracek lost balance and crashed hard into the goal. Backup Tristan Jarry provided relief and will be the starter for the back-to-back champs going forward.

In 20 starts this season, Murray owns an 11-7-1 record, to go with a .906 save percentage and 2.95 goals-against average.
