Kraken's Matt Murray: Injured late in first period
Matt Murray (lower body) won't return to Saturday's game versus the Sharks.Murray sustained the injury on the Sharks' first goal, a power-play tally by Alexander Wennberg. This puts the Seattle Kraken's goalie depth in danger, as Joey Daccord (upper body) is still working his way back from a stint on injured reserve. Murray's status should be updated in the coming days, but if his injury is bad enough, he may find himself on IR.

Kraken's Matt Murray: Good performance not enough
Matt Murray stopped 33 of 34 shots in Tuesday's 2-1 shootout loss to the Blue Jackets.Murray put in his best performance of the season so far, but he wasn't able to snag a win as Jet Greaves kept things level in the other crease. The 31-year-old Murray has allowed seven goals over four appearances (three starts) to begin his tenure with the Seattle Kraken, but he's 0-2-1. He's started the last two games over Philipp Grubauer and has likely earned additional time while Joey Daccord (upper body) is on the mend. It's quite possible Murray is playing for his roster spot, as it could be untenable for the Kraken to carry three goalies once Daccord is healthy.

Kraken's Matt Murray: Patrolling home blue paint Tuesday
Matt Murray was the first goaltender off at morning skate, according to Mike Benton of the Seattle Kraken Audio Network, which indicates he will draw the start at home against the Blue Jackets on Tuesday.Murray turned in a respectable showing Sunday against Dallas, stopping 23 of 25 shots, but his team provided him with just one goal en route to a 2-1 loss. If Murray continues to perform admirably, he could be the de facto No. 1 option over Philipp Grubauer while Joey Daccord is on injured reserve due to an upper-body injury. The Blue Jackets are coming off a 5-4 overtime loss in Edmonton on Monday, so the Kraken have the rest advantage Tuesday.

Kraken's Matt Murray: Remains winless after Sunday
Matt Murray stopped 22 of 24 shots in Sunday's 2-1 loss to the Stars.Murray was beaten twice in the first period, but even though he looked solid the rest of the way, he was unable to pick up his first win of the season. The 31-year-old goaltender has gone 0-2-0 with a 2.72 GAA and .900 save percentage in three appearances this season. However, as the backup behind Philipp Grubauer while Joey Daccord (upper body) is on the shelf, Murray isn't expected to see a lot of playing time any time soon.

Kraken's Matt Murray: Makes relief appearance
Matt Murray allowed a goal on three shots in relief of Joey Daccord in Wednesday's 6-1 loss to the Sharks.Murray came in after Daccord allowed a shorthanded goal to Ty Dellandrea. The first shot Murray faced was right after Tyler Toffoli exited the penalty box at the conclusion of a Seattle Kraken power play, and Toffoli was able to convert for the goal. Murray has made two appearances with the Kraken, and he's allowed four goals on 36 shots. The 31-year-old is battling with Philipp Grubauer for backup duties, but Daccord's heavy workload has left little opportunity for the other two goalies to get time. One of Murray or Grubauer should start either Saturday in St. Louis or Sunday in Dallas.

Kraken's Matt Murray: Downed by Caps in season debut
Matt Murray turned aside 30 of 33 shots in Tuesday's 4-1 loss to Washington, with the Capitals' final goal getting scored into an empty net.Making his first appearance of the season on the second night of a back-to-back for the Seattle Kraken, Murray wasn't particularly sharp. He got clean looks at two of the long-range shots that beat him. Seattle is carrying three goalies to begin the year, and while Joey Daccord's No. 1 spot is secure, Murray could wind up with the No. 2 spot if he outplays Philipp Grubauer -- although Tuesday's effort didn't make a strong case for him to move up the depth chart.
