Matthew Murray

June 2023 – Murray signed a one year, two-way contract in the off-season. He is expected to be the third back up option for the Dallas Stars, should any injuries occur during the season. Murray had a solid season as the main goaltender for the Texas Stars, in which they won the division. Taylor Newby

March 2023 – Murray has found himself bouncing between being the starter for the Texas Stars and backing up Jake Oettinger due to injuries. He made his NHL debut on March 2nd and recorded his first NHL win against the Chicago Blackhawks. He is growing into a very solid goaltender and should find himself in the NHL within the next couple of years. Taylor Newby

December 2022 – Unlike his same-named Toronto Maple Leafs counterpart, Matt Murray is not yet an NHL goaltender. His AHL play, however, has been inspiring of a future NHL netminder. He won’t wow you with any aspect of the position, but his awareness is fantastic. His puck tracking abilities are among the best of any goaltender in the Stars system not named Jake Oettinger. His numbers don’t tell the whole story as his sub-.900 (.898)  save percentage is relatively average. He has become a real 1B option behind Anton Khudobin, and will likely take the starting role once Khudobin’s contract expires. Aaron Itovitch
