In breaking news today, the Toronto Maple Leafs have recalled goaltender Matt Murray from the Toronto Marlies after completing a conditioning stint from the long-term injured reserve list (LTIR).

During his time with the Marlies, Murray posted a 1-2-0 record with an .846 save percentage, contributing to the team's AHL postseason qualification.
