Matt Murray Expected to Practice Saturday for Maple Leafs

Matt Murray is expected to practice Saturday for the Toronto Maple Leafs, Mark Masters of TSN reports.

Murray has been dealing with an ankle injury, the second time this season, that has kept him out of action since Jan. 17. This is the third time that Murray has been out of the lineup this season for the Leafs.

He has been solid between the pipes with a 2.73 GAA and a .911 save percentage when healthy. The problem is Ilya Samsonov has solidified himself as the starting goaltender in his absence, and Murray will likely have to earn his starts upon his return.

The Maple Leafs are +450 to win the Eastern Conference this season. Their biggest problem, however, might just be making it out of the first round of the playoffs. They are on a collision course with the Tampa Bay Lightning. The same Lightning that has gone to three straight Stanley Cups.
