Matt Murray’s first taste of NHL hockey has come to an end.
On Saturday the Pittsburgh Penguins reactivated goaltender Marc-Andre Fleury from the injured reserve list and sent the 21-year-old Murray back to Wilkes-Barre/Scranton of the American Hockey League.
Thunder Bay’s Murray saw plenty of action in nets for the Penguins during his brief recall, posting a 2-1-1 record with a 1.72 goals against average and a .938 save percentage.
Murray is the reigning AHL rookie and goaltender of the year
Fleury was placed on injured reserve on Dec. 14 with a concussion.
