Fantasy Summary

An intelligent goalie who tracks and anticipates the puck well. Lacks high-end athleticism and size but is aggressive in the crease and challenges shooters—a long-term project like many Russian netminders, worth keeping an eye on in deep dynasty leagues.

July 2023 – Sergei Murashov continued his promising development in his first year as a Penguins prospect. Murshov was named the goaltender of the year in the MHL Russia’s top junior league. Murashov played 42 games and finished with a 0.946 save percentage and a 1.58 goals-against average which was the best in the league. From a statistics perspective, Murashov had one of the best draft plus-one seasons you could have in the MHL topping former first-round pick and Vezina winner Andrei Vasilevsky’s numbers of 2.23 goals against average and a 0.923 save percentage. Murashov’s athleticism is his best asset being able to get across his crease in one powerful push to make saves other goalies would not. While Murashov is still early in his development the success he has had so far is extremely promising. If he can keep up these metrics in a transition to more KHL-level games in 2023-24 Murashov could be on track to be one of the best goaltending prospects in the NHL by next offseason. Tyler Ball
