Goalie “Toronto” Matt Murray has successfully undergone bilateral hip surgery, the club’s press service reports.
He is expected to miss 6 to 8 months. Last season, due to injuries, the goaltender only played 26 games in the NHL regular season, allowing an average of 3.01 goals and stopping 90.3% of shots.
Another Toronto goaltender is Russian Ilya Samsonov. Last summer, arbitration awarded him a one-year contract with a salary of $3.55 million.
The Russian goalie played 42 NHL games during the 2022/23 regular season, stopping 91.9% of shots with a 2.33 safety factor. He also has 9 playoff games under his belt.
