February Penguins’ Goaltending Secrets Revealed: Which Prospect Could Become the Team’s Next Star?
Well, Murashov has struggled for a few very small stretches this season – enough to dethrone him of the AHL’s top save percentage and goals-against average. In late October and late November – sandwiching a brief NHL stint – there was a four-game stretch where, in three of those four games, he had a sub-.895 save percentage. At the turn of the New Year, Murashov had two consecutive appearances where he was pulled and allowed five goals in each game.

But, other than that, he’s been lights-out. Murashov is still third in the AHL in both goals-against average (2.11) and save percentage, and he is also 7-1 with a .925 save percentage in his last eight appearances. He is still – more than likely – the first guy the Penguins will call on if needed, and he is still the best goaltending prospect in the Penguins’ system.
