Penguins' Murray leaves with apparent leg injury

Pittsburgh Penguins goaltender Matt Murray left Monday's contest against the Philadelphia Flyers with an apparent leg injury.

Murray exited with 4:21 remaining in the second period after he was bumped by Flyers forward Jakub Voracek, who was crashing the net.

The Penguins netminder left the ice favoring his right leg and was replaced by backup Tristan Jarry.

Pittsburgh came back for a 5-4 win over Philadelphia. In his postgame press conference, Penguins coach Mike Sullivan noted Murray had suffered a lower-body injury and would be re-evaluated Tuesday.

Should the Penguins need to rely on Jarry - who turned aside eight of 10 shots versus the Flyers - in the short term, Sullivan is confident in his rookie netminder.

"If that becomes the scenario, then Tristan is going to have to make timely saves for us, game in and game out, and we believe he can do that for us," Sullivan told Sam Werner of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.
