Penguins GM not actively looking to add goalie in Murray's absence

The Pittsburgh Penguins are prepared to ride the kids while Matt Murray's sidelined.

The team's starting goalie is considered week to week with a lower-body injury, leaving netminding duties to Tristan Jarry and Casey DeSmith, who bring a combined six NHL appearances to the table.

For the moment, general manager Jim Rutherford isn't seeking any further stopgap solutions.

"We'll watch it close, but we'll go with our two young guys that haven't played a lot of NHL games," Rutherford told reporters, including theScore, at the Hockey Hall of Fame on Wednesday. "Jarry's played well for us and he's a very capable goalie. So we'll just keep an eye on it, how long Murray's going to be out, how the goaltending's doing, how the team's doing, but I'm not actively trying to do something right today."

Rutherford said he's always listening and open to suggestions on the trade market.

The GM - along with Sidney Crosby, Evgeni Malkin, and Kris Letang - was at the Hall of Fame to donate the Stanley Cup ring from the team's 2017 championship run, in which Murray played a vital part.
