Murphy notched an assist and two shots on goal in Saturday's 4-2 loss to the Sabres.
Murphy earned his first point of the year on the second of Craig Smith's two goals in the game. The 31-year-old Murphy doesn't often put up much offense, adding mostly physical production, though he had no hits or blocked shots Saturday. The veteran blueliner has seven hits, 14 blocks, 11 PIM, seven shots on net and a minus-1 rating through six outings this season. Over the last 10 regular seasons, he's reached 100 hits each time and fell short of 100 blocks just once in that span. Murphy has never produced a 20-point campaign.
