Maple Leafs goaltender Matt Murray is making a push for another NHL opportunity after a stellar weekend with the Toronto Marlies, backstopping them to two shutouts.
In six games since returning to the Marlies, Murray has posted a 3-3 record, but has won his last three starts with the Leafs' AHL affiliate club.
This past weekend, Murray collected back-to-back shutouts in games on Friday and Sunday over the Manitoba Moose, stopping all 55 shots he faced in the two games.
With his two shutouts over the weekend, Murray now holds a .933 save percentage in 14 games with the Marlies, placing him second in the AHL in that category.
However, should he continue to play at the level he has recently, he should be in line for another opportunity if called upon.
