Matt Murray: It’s been a rocky season for Murray with just a .900 save% in 27 games, losing his starting job, if not in name then certainly in usage. He’s strung together some wins to post a 15-6-4 record, at least, and his January stats (4-0-0, .929 save%) could be pointing towards another strong finish like last year. He, and the Pens, will need that improved play. D+
Tristan Jarry: For as disappointing as Murray has been, Jarry has stepped in to become the Pens’ season savior calendar 2019 by posting a 13-5-0 record with a .939 save% and 1.88 GAA to start the season. Not bad for a guy who partially made the team out of training camp due to a favorable contract and parlayed the opportunity all the way to the All Star Game. A
What we find interesting is, Since Fluery went to vegas, we wonder if Murray could keep up in the NHL without the high tense competition Fluery gave him.
Guess Jarry delivers what Fleury was with Murray as well.
We predict a better Murray in the 2nd half do to the prospect of not being a starter goalie... He needs that to play at his best.
Jarry looks focus, And I always said he was better then DeSmith and Murray.
