Since returning from an adductor injury, Murray has been terrific in the Leafs net, going 6\u002D0\u002D2 and recording a .941 save percentage.
“Unbelievable,” Leafs defenceman Rasmus Sandin said. “It’s not easy when you have been gone. It’s easy to lose that touch of the game.
Since 1955-56, only two Leafs goalies — James Reimer and Mike Palmateer — recorded more saves in a shutout. “The goaltending has been really good and has given us a chance,” Leafs coach Sheldon Keefe said. “When we’ve been overwhelmed a little bit at times and with our injuries, you’re going to need big plays, whether that’s the goalies or our game-breakers at forward. The resilience of the group with how they’ve defended when they need to, come up with big goals at key times when we need to .
For Sandin and Liljegren, there has been no wilting as more ice time with greater challenges has come their way. “They played hard , they moved the puck, they were physical, competitive. They’re doing a lot on a half a tank.”That Mitch Marner became just the fourth active player to record a 20-game point streak when he assisted on a John Tavares goal in the first period against the Stars was not lost on Keefe.
