ANALYSIS
 
News broke Friday that the team was expected to put Murray on waivers, and now the move has been made official. The netminder is in the second season of a four-year, $25 million contract and has struggled immensely in Ottawa, most recently putting up a 3.26 GAA and .890 save percentage in 2021-22. 

Injury:

A week after being sidelined with a neck injury after taking a hit in the crease from Chris Kreider during a game against the New York Rangers at home, the Ottawa Senators top goaltender made the start against the Chicago Blackhawks at the United Center as this three-game road trip continued.

Senators:

D.J. Smith confirmed “Gus The Bus” will close out this trip Tuesday against the Minnesota Wild at the Xcel Energy Center.

The Hawks were winless in nine straight with an 0-7-2 record heading into this game so it made sense for Smith to give Murray the chance to face a team that’s struggling to get back into the groove.

Trade:

The Pittsburgh Penguins have traded goaltender Matt Murray to the Ottawa Senators in exchange for forward Jonathan Gruden and a 2020 second-round draft pick, both teams announced on Wednesday.

Matthew Murray signed a 4 year / $25,000,000 contract with the Ottawa Senators, including $25,000,000 guaranteed, and an annual average salary of $6,250,000. In 2021-22, Murray will earn a base salary of $6,000,000, while carrying a cap hit of $6,250,000.
