Matt Murray continues to live up to the hype.
The Pittsburgh Penguins netminder posted a shutout in Game 5 of the Stanley Cup Final against the Nashville Predators, stopping 24 shots in a 6-0 rout by the Penguins.
It was a critical victory for Murray, who entered the contest with his record on the line - he had never lost three consecutive games prior to Thursday's affair, and the win in Game 5 kept that mark intact.
After taking the first two games of the series, the Penguins dropped the following two road games in Nashville, contests in which Murray combined for a 4.01 GAA and lowly .862 save percentage.
But Murray has been a different animal on home ice, turning aside 84 of the 88 shots the Predators have directed toward his cage.
The 23-year-old will have a chance to capture his second Stanley Cup on Sunday when the Penguins head to Nashville for Game 6.
