The Ottawa Senators got some good news on goaltender Matt Murray who was injured in a game this past Saturday.

According to head coach D.J. Smith, the injury Murray received after taking a Chris Kreider knee to the head isn't as serious as originally thought. Though he has been placed on the injured reserve, Smith told media that the 27-year-old is joining the team on their road trip and could be back sooner than expected.

This is great news for both Murray and the Senators. After really struggling in his opening season with the team, he looked like a much different goaltender this year in both exhibition play and early into the regular season. In two starts in 2021-22, he has an impressive 1.60 goals against average along with a .936 save percentage.
