Penguins' Matt Murray: Will be backup against Lightning

Murray (upper body) will serve as the backup to Casey DeSmith versus Tampa Bay on Saturday.

Murray probably could have played if this were a playoff game, but with a solid No. 2 behind him in DeSmith, there's no reason to rush the Thunder Bay native back into action. Heading into the rest of the season, the 24-year-old Murray figures to see the bulk of the workload, though he could cede a handful of starts in order to be ready for a deep playoff run.
