Sergei Murashov News

Arturs Silovs has been inconsistent early in the 2026-27 season and has been outperformed by Murashov's small sample size. The 22-year-old Murashov is coming off an outstanding outing, saving 45 of 47 shots (.957 SV%) in a 3-2 shootout loss to the Columbus Blue Jackets. He has a 2.45 GAA and .939 SV% in two games (0-1-1). The Penguins enter Tuesday's contest as -157 road favourites against a struggling 1-5-0 Chicago Blackhawks team that will welcome Connor Bedard (shoulder) into the lineup for his season debut.

Sergei Murashov had a decent outing in his season debut, but the Penguins have turned to Arturs Silovs in three of four games. That said, aside from his season-opening shutout, Silovs has struggled between the pipes. The 22-year-old Murashov, who saved 32 of 35 shots (.914 SV%) in a 3-2 loss to the Winnipeg Jets, could earn increased playing time if he can string together several strong outings. The Penguins enter Friday's contest as slight +102 road underdogs against a 1-1-0 Columbus Blue Jackets team that has not played in six days.

Murashev made his NHL debut last season, recording a 2.56 GAA and .897 SV% in five appearances (1-1-2). The 22-year-old goalie is expected to play a larger role this season, possibly in a timeshare, but his debut has been delayed by a strong opening two games from Arturs Silovs (2-0-0). Still, hopes are high for Murashov this season, who has excelled at every other level, including posting a solid 2.20 GAA and .919 SV% last season in 38 games (24-9-4) with the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins (AHL). Pittsburgh enters the action on Monday as -175 home favourites against the Winnipeg Jets, who are coming off a 3-2 win over the Detroit Red Wings yesterday.

Murashov was recalled earlier this week for precautionary reasons because of Stuart Skinner (upper body) injury, but he will head back to Wilkes-Barre/Scranton (AHL). The 22-year-old Murashov, touted as Pittsburgh's goalie of the future, has been excellent in the AHL this season, posting a 2.13 GAA and .922 SV% in 35 games (23-8-3).

Pittsburgh does not play until Thursday against the New Jersey Devils, but they appear to be without Stuart Skinner (upper body), which will result in Murashov being recalled from Wilkes-Barre/Scranton (AHL). The 22-year-old Murashov made his NHL debut earlier this season, but has spent most of the 2025-26 campaign in the AHL, where he has an impressive 2.13 GAA and .922 SV% in 35 games (23-8-3).

Murashov was recalled from the AHL to fill in while the team sorted newly acquired goalie Stuart Skinner's American Visa. With everything now in order, Murashov will return the AHL. The 21-year-old goalie posted a 2.56 GAA and .897 SV% in five games with Pittsburgh this season (1-1-2).

With Tristan Jarry (lower body) activated from Injured Reserve and returning to the crease, Pittsburgh has reassigned Murashov to the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins. The 21-year-old Murashov is widely seen as the goalie of the future for Pittsburgh and impressed in a small four-game sample (1-1-1), posting a 1.90 GAA and a .913 SV%.

With Arturs Silovs getting the start on Saturday, Murashov will make his first career start on Sunday. Murashov had an outstanding start to the season with Wilkes-Barre/Scranton (AHL), where he won AHL Player of the Month in October, going 5-2-0 with a 1.73 GAA and .931 SV% in seven games.
