Murray missed five games with a lower-body injury sustained during a 5-4 win against the Philadelphia Flyers on Nov. 27. The two-time Stanley Cup champion is 11-7-1 with a 2.95 goals-against average and .906 save percentage in 21 games (20 starts).

Goaltender Casey DeSmith was reassigned to Wilkes-Barre/Scranton of the American Hockey League.
The Penguins play at the Vegas Golden Knights on Thursday (10 p.m. ET; NHLN, SN, SN360, ATTSN-RM, ATTSN-PT, NHL.TV), when Murray could oppose goaltender Marc-Andre Fleury, his teammate on Pittsburgh's back-to-back Cup-winning teams in 2016 and '17.
Fleury was selected by the Golden Knights in the NHL Expansion Draft on June 21 and
was activated off injured reserve Sunday
