Laughton has been out since October 26th with a broken finger but has been medically cleared to play Saturday vs. the Flames. In order to make room for Laughton, the Flyers have sent Andy Andreoff to the AHL and placed Nolan Patrick on LTIR. Laughton had three assists and 11 shots while playing 14:19 ATOI in nine games before getting hurt.
Murray allowed two goals on 21 shots in the Penguins' 2-1 loss in New Jersey last Friday. Tristan Jarry started Saturday, so they come back to Murray tonight vs. the Islanders. In his last six starts, Murray has gone 2-1-2 with a 2.68 GAA and .894 SV%. With a ton of injuries in front of him, wins are going to be hard to come by but Murray should turn in strong splits. He stopped 20 of 23 shots in a 4-3 OT win in his first start vs. the Islanders.
Murray gave up two goals on 31 shots in the Penguins win over the Blackhawks on Saturday. Murray has won two straight while stopping 49 of the 54 shots (.907 SV%) and comes into Tuesday's matchup at 3-1-0 with a 2.93 GAA, .885 SV% and one shutout on the road. On the other side, the Rangers are 4-4-2 while scoring 3.70 goals per game on home ice.
Marner was forced to leave Saturday's game vs. the Flyers with an ankle injury that he suffered after getting tangled up and falling awkwardly on a face-off. Marner did not travel to Chicago for Sunday's game and could potentially be out for an extended period of time. Marner will undergo an MRI and the Maple Leafs should release a timetable early next week.
Murray allowed three goals on 23 shots in the Penguins win over the Islanders on Thursday. The win snapped a brief two-game losing skid for Murray, who is now 8-3-1 with a 2.40 GAA and .914 SV% on the season. The 25-year-old will be taking on a Chicago team that has just one win on the road this season, going 1-4-1 while scoring just 1.83 goals per game this season.

Murray was pulled after allowing three goals on 11 shots in the Penguins loss in Boston on Monday. Everyone is struggling against the Bruins right now, so Murray owners shouldn't worry about his latest outing. In his previous three road outings, Murray stopped 72 of the 79 shots (.911 SV%) and will try to snap the Islanders' winning streak on Thursday. The Isles have won 10 in a row while averaging 3.50 goals per game.
Tavares missed seven games with a fractured finger but will play Tuesday vs. the Kings. Unsurprisingly, the Maple Leafs struggled without their captain, going 3-2-2 while averaging 3.00 goals per game versus 4-3-1 while averaging 3.88 goals per game with him in the lineup. He'll return with seven points (3G / 4A) in eight games and will play on a line with Mitch Marner and Trevor Moore.
Murray gave up two goals on 28 shots in the Penguins' overtime loss to the Oilers on Saturday. It was another strong performance from Murray, who has won six of his last eight starts (6-1-1) while posting a 1.85 GAA, .932 SV% and one shutout. As good as he has been, the Bruins are a terrible matchup--they are 6-0-1 on home-ice and are sixth in goal-scoring (3.54 GF/gm).
Muzzin missed Saturday's game in Philadelphia due to a personal matter but will play vs. his former team on Tuesday. Muzzin has amassed nine points (3G / 6A) in 14 games so far this season.
Murray stopped 29 of 30 shots in the Penguins 7-1 blowout win over the Flyers on Tuesday. Murray has won two in a row while stopping 54 of 55 shots (.982 SV%) and has been victorious in six of his last seven with a 1.84 GAA and .933 SV%. Murray has played well and the Oilers have gone 2-3-1 while averaging 1.83 goals per game in their last six.
The Maple Leafs were hopeful that Tavares would be able to return to the lineup on Saturday but head coach Mike Babcock ruled him out this morning. Look for the captain to return vs. the Kings on Tuesday.
Muzzin was banged up against Capitals but he won't play Saturday due to a personal reason, not injury. This is a positive development and suggests that Muzzin could be back as soon as Tuesday vs. the Kings.
Tavares has missed the last six games with a broken finger but was a full participant in the Maple Leafs' practice on Friday and he is "hopeful" to play on Saturday. Toronto went 2-2-2 without Tavares and he comes back with seven points (3G / 4A) in eight games, whenever he's healthy.
Laughton was originally expected to miss one month with a broken finger, so his move to LTIR opens up a roster spot and provides the Flyers with some cap relief. Philadelphia brought Carsen Twarnyski back from Lehigh Valley (AHL) to take Laughton's spot on the roster.
Philadelphia shuffled their roster ahead of Friday's tilt in New Jersey. Myers has four assists in six AHL games this season and recorded one goal and one assist (two points) in 21 games with Philadelphia in 2019-20.
