Ryan Murray News

Murray (upper-body) will not play on Monday.

This has become a common theme for Murray, play well but then eventually get injured. He has already missed eight games this season and will miss No.9 when the Blue Jackets host the Capitals on Monday. Scott Harrington will draw into the lineup and replace Murray on the Blue Jackets' second-pairing.

Murray (lower-body) will not play on Friday.

One game after returning to the lineup, Murray will come back out on Friday. The oft-injured defenseman is nicked up after blocking a shot in Montreal and Tuesday and will be replaced by Scott Harrington vs. the Blues. It doesn't sound like a long-term injury this time around, so look for him to be back in the lineup next week.

Murray missed six games with a broken hand but being activated from IR suggests that he'll be back in the lineup on Tuesday. Murray has had a tough time staying healthy but is fairly productive when healthy. He has one goal and three assists in 10 games this season. Adam Clendening has been sent back to Cleveland to make room for Murray.
