Matt Murray...lower body injury or lower bowel injury

Tristan Jarry. Could be as good as Murray. The only issue is inexperience.

Yep. Jarry is putting up similar numbers to Murray when he was in the minors.

No he isn't. Murray had a 1.81GAA, with a 93.6% SV and 16 SHO in 72 games at the AHL level. He just won a Stanley Cup and is just 22. There's something special about Murray as a goaltending prospect, and it's time to recognize a rare talent. Take a look at what his contemporaries are doing in Vasilevskiy and Hellebuyck...stinking up the joint. Which is not to say that they won't be talents in the NHL, but comparing a guy like Jarry, who hasn't accomplished anything of merit, and putting up relatively average numbers in the AHL is insulting.

I doubt the Pens are going to go with a green rookie like Jarry as their NHL backup. They will want Jarry logging big minutes in the A to continue his development. I think the Pens will go after a solid veteran backup in the Budaj/Montoya/Chad Johnson mold who is capable of handling things (in a time share with a Jarry callup) if Murray goes down. Losing Fleury really isnt a big deal since its not that hard to find goalies who will give you a 3.12 GAA and .909 line anyway.

You are probably right, but it's not like Murray spent a lot of time in the AHL before developing into a potential starting stud himself. It's a good feeling to see your young goalies developing as well as they are if you are the Pens.
