After a disappointing loss to the Boston Bruins in Game 1, where goaltending fell short, the Leafs have taken steps to bolster their goaltending depth. With Ilya Samsonov having mixed performances, allowing early goals in both the first and second periods, the Leafs are exploring their options.
Toronto now has several goaltenders available, and they've officially added Murray to the mix by recalling him from his conditioning stint with the Marlies. 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.
While this move marks the first step in Murray's potential return to the Leafs, it remains uncertain whether he will be called up to the main roster. The Leafs' goaltending situation will be closely watched in their upcoming games.
Do you think the Toronto Maple Leafs will use Matt Murray at a certain point in this year's Stanley Cup Playoffs?
