Goaltender Filip Gustavsson is keeping the Ottawa Senators in games with outstanding play recently. With Matt Murray still trying to find his rhythm, Gustavsson figures to get more playing time (HockeyScanner)
Alleged No. 1 starter Matt Murray came off the injured list to lose 5-1 to previously winless Chicago on Monday. Murray is 0-2-0 with a 2.78 goals-against average and .897 save percentage. That swiftly moving vehicle that just blew past Murray is aka ‘Gus the Bus.’
Is there any doubt that Gustavsson will carry the load until Murray eventually gets sorted out? The injury-ravaged Vegas Golden Knights are in Ottawa on Thursday and the Tampa Bay Lightning visit Saturday. “He just looked calm,” Smith said of Gustavsson’s battle vs. the Wild, which in the world of a coach is high praise.
Murray was brilliant in what should have been a tidy home-ice win against the New York Rangers on Oct. 23, leading 2-0 late in the game while stopping all 22 shots he had faced. With about five minutes left in the third period, Murray was simultaneously scored on and banged into by Rangers winger Chris Kreider. Murray left with a neck injury, rested and rehabilitated for the better part of a week, then was declared good to go in Chicago on Monday.
