As the Pittsburgh Penguins await word on the apparent leg injury that Matt Murray suffered Monday, they don't sound concerned about handing the reins to Tristan Jarry in the meantime.

Head coach Mike Sullivan likes what he sees from the 22-year-old, and believes a 33-save performance in a win over the Tampa Bay Lightning on Saturday is indicative of what the youngster can bring to the table.

"As far as Tristan's concerned, we believe he's a solid goalie," Sullivan said, according to Jason Mackey of the Post-Gazette. "I think the game he played against Tampa was the perfect indication of what he's capable of. That being said, if that becomes the scenario, then Tristan's going to have to make timely saves for us game in and game out. We believe he can do that."

Jarry was selected 44th overall by Pittsburgh in 2013, and recorded a .925 save percentage while winning 28 games for the AHL's Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins last season.

He's appeared in only five games for the Penguins over the past two seasons, posting a record of 2-1-2 with a .902 save percentage.

Murray is set for further evaluation on Tuesday. Pittsburgh doesn't play until Friday in Buffalo, giving the team a few days to figure things out.

The Tampa Bay Lightning's top line isn't shining as brightly these days.

After a cracking start that sent Steven Stamkos and Nikita Kucherov to the top of the NHL scoring leaderboard, the unit, rounded out by Vladislav Namestnikov, has cooled off significantly, and the team has lost three of its last four.

The trio has combined for four points over those four games, with Kucherov and Stamkos recording an assist apiece and Namestnikov chipping in a goal and a helper.

After a recent video session, Stamkos - who admits to being frustrated by the recent skid - was encouraged by the opportunities being generated, and believes it's only a matter of time before the Lighting convert them.

"When you go watch afterwards, sometimes it's not as bad as you think when you're going through a little bit of a tough patch in terms of production," Stamkos said Monday, according to Joe Smith of the Tampa Bay Times. "We're still getting chances. They're not always going to go in. You know it's not going to last the whole season."

Tampa Bay remains first in the Eastern Conference, but only has a two-point cushion over New Jersey, The Lightning will have every opportunity to get rolling again, however, in a visit to the last-place Buffalo Sabres on Tuesday.

The CFL season ended Sunday, but a Winnipeg franchise scored a touchdown and added the extra point on Monday night.

The Jets poured in seven straight goals, rallying from a 2-0 deficit to destroy the Minnesota Wild 7-2 at Bell MTS Place.

Winnipeg scored a pair of markers to tie the game late in the first period, added two more in the middle stanza, and piled on three more in the third.

Seven different players scored for the Jets, as Mark Scheifele, Blake Wheeler, and Kyle Connor all scored a goal and added two assists apiece.

It was the second time the Jets notched seven goals in a game this season, following their 7-1 pummelling of the Pittsburgh Penguins back on Oct. 29.

Winnipeg came into Monday's game ranked ninth in goals per game in the league at 3.13.

Two games, two wins.

Montreal Canadiens goaltender Carey Price secured his second straight win in as many games Monday, as the Canadiens defeated the Blue Jackets by a 3-1 score. The victory snapped Columbus' six-game win streak and, in the process, gave Price his first consecutive wins on the season.

Price allowed one goal on 38 shots against the Blue Jackets, just two nights after recording his first shutout of the season against the Buffalo Sabres.

Since his 10-game absence, Price has turned aside 73 shots for a spectacular .986 save percentage. It's a stark contrast from his performance earlier this season, when he owned a .877 save rate through his first 11 appearances.

In 13 games, Price is 5-7-1 with a 3.24 GAA and .898 save percentage. But If his last two outings are any indication, the Canadiens' MVP appears to be back to his old self.

Roberto Luongo's longevity continues to help him etch his name in the record books.

The Florida Panthers goaltender hit another milestone Monday, earning his 200th win with the organization in a 3-2 victory over the New Jersey Devils, and becoming only the second netminder in NHL history to notch that many victories with two different teams.

It took Luongo 507 games to win 200 with the Panthers, which works out to a win percentage of only .394. He won 258 in 448 contests with the Vancouver Canucks.

The 38-year-old now has 459 career victories in 979 career games, for a .469 win percentage. He moved into sole possession of fourth place on the NHL's all-time wins list earlier this month, passing Curtis Joseph, who required only 953 games to win 454.

Pittsburgh Penguins goaltender Matt Murray left Monday's contest against the Philadelphia Flyers with an apparent leg injury.

Murray exited with 4:21 remaining in the second period after he was bumped by Flyers forward Jakub Voracek, who was crashing the net.

The Penguins netminder left the ice favoring his right leg and was replaced by backup Tristan Jarry. Murray did not return for the start of the third frame.

Murray has posted an 11-7-1 record and .906 save percentage through 20 games this season.

The two-time defending Stanley Cup champions are reportedly trying to trade one of their depth defensemen.

Ian Cole is being actively shopped by the Pittsburgh Penguins, multiple sources told the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette's Jason Mackey.

Cole was a healthy scratch for the third consecutive game Monday night against the Philadelphia Flyers. He's a pending unrestricted free agent carrying a $2.1-million cap hit.

Several teams have expressed interest in the 28-year-old blue-liner, according to the report.

Cole ranked third in the NHL last season with 194 blocked shots, behind Erik Karlsson and Kris Russell.

The Penguins could use a boost, entering into Monday's contest sitting in sixth place in the Metropolitan Division with only 12 wins in 25 games.

Paul Maurice isn't quite on Ken Hitchcock's side of the injury transparency debate.

"He must not have any," Maurice, the head coach of the Winnipeg Jets, quipped to reporters with a smile Monday when asked about the Dallas Stars bench boss' plea for teams to end vague injury updates in the NHL.

Maurice then referred to doctor-patient confidentiality to make his case.

"You're not allowed to tell anybody what a doctor knows," he said. "They've got laws. People can get sued for letting that kind of information (out). I don't really have the right to come out and tell you how a guy is feeling, but we do anyway."

He then explained why he believes sharing more information would be detrimental to his team.

"I would think on average (that) somewhere between nine and 11 players, about half your hockey team, every single night, has something that they're dealing with. Bone bruises, I had a guy playing with cracked ribs. I don't want anybody to know that."

Head injuries are the one area Maurice said should continue to be addressed and disclosed. The Jets head coach praised his backup goaltender, Steve Mason, for being upfront about the concussion with which the netminder was just diagnosed.

"I do think we have a responsibility to show our league is handling them in a certain way," Maurice said.

Hitchcock implied last Tuesday that he wanted to end the "dance" of saying "upper body" and "lower body" when reporters will inevitably find out what the specific nature of an injury is shortly thereafter.

The Stars head coach said he doesn't believe teams and players target other players when they know their injuries, and Maurice agreed with that Monday.
