Toronto Maple Leafs goaltender Matt Murray will miss at least four weeks with an abductor injury, the club announced Saturday.
The 28-year-old was scheduled to start against the Ottawa Senators, but left the morning skate in obvious discomfort and was subsequently placed on long-term injured reserve.The Leafs bet big on Murray and Samsonov - two goalies with plenty to prove - in the off-season after letting all-star Jack Campbell walk in free agency.
Murray, who was acquired from Ottawa via trade in July, lost Wednesday's season-opener 4-3 in Montreal, while Samsonov beat Washington 3-2 on Thursday. Kallgren went 8-4-1 with an .888 save percentage and 3.31 goals-against average with one shutout in 14 games with the Leafs last season.
