Murray yielded the game-winner with 19 seconds to play Wednesday as the Canadiens edged the Maple Leafs 4-3.
Murray, who was acquired from the Senators last July, earned the starting nod thanks to a strong preseason. Murray is coming off an injury-plagued season in which he earned just five wins in 20 starts and spent time in the minors. The two-time Stanley Cup champion likely will continue to share starting duties with another newcomer in Ilya Samsonov.
