About Matt Murray (ice hockey, born 1994)

Matthew Murray is a Canadian professional ice hockey player who is a goaltender for the Seattle Kraken of the National Hockey League (NHL). Murray was selected by the Pittsburgh Penguins in the third round of the 2012 NHL entry draft. In 2016, Murray won his first Stanley Cup championship as the starting goaltender for the Penguins during the playoffs after having replaced then-starter Marc-André Fleury. Murray would split the net with Fleury during the 2017 Stanley Cup playoffs, winning the Stanley Cup again in 2017 and becoming the first goaltender to win back-to-back titles in his first two seasons in the NHL. He has also played for the Ottawa Senators and Toronto Maple Leafs. In recent years, his career has been plagued by injuries. In his minor midget season (2009–10), Murray led his Kings to a 3–2–0 record at the OHL Cup. On March 22, Murray recorded his tenth shutout of the season, breaking a record for rookie AHL goaltenders set by Gordie Bell in 1942–43.
