Dallas Signs G Matt Murray to a One-Year Deal in Wake of Oettinger News

The Dallas Stars have signed minor league goaltender Matt Murray to a one-year contract. No, not the Matt Murray currently on the shelf of the Toronto Maple Leafs.

Murray, 24, was an undrafted free agent out of the University of Massachussetts - Amherst. In five seasons with UMass - Amherst, Murray went 83-43-4; posting a 2.21 GAA and .916 SV%.

The Alberta native signed with the Stars' AHL club as a free agent in the summer, and if not for Jake Oettinger's injury and the club's cap situation, he probably would have stayed there. Alas, no.

Murray is expected to back up Scott Wedgewood during Otter's absence, which is going to be at least a week longer.
