After losing goalie Stuart Skinner to the Winnipeg Jets in free agency, the Pittsburgh Penguins are giving Sergei Murashov a chance to compete for an NHL roster spot. The 22-year-old prospect has received recognition, ranking No. 8 in Scott Wheeler’s top NHL goalie prospect rankings for The Athletic. Last season, Murashov posted a 1-1-2 record in his first five NHL games, highlighted by a 21-save shutout against the Predators, and excelled in the AHL with a 24-9-4 record. His promising performance sets high expectations for his upcoming season with the Penguins.
