Pittsburgh Penguins netminder Matt Murray has been sidelined with a concussion, coach Mike Sullivan announced Tuesday.

Murray left practice early Monday after defenseman Olli Maatta hit him in the mask with a puck.

No timeline has been provided on how long Murray could be out of the lineup.

An extended absence could have playoff implications, as the Penguins currently sit in third place in the Metropolitan Division with the trailing New Jersey Devils and Columbus Blue Jackets still in the mix.

Murray has appeared in 41 games this season, posting a 23-13-2 record with a .909 save percentage.

In the interim, the Penguins will turn to backup netminder Tristan Jarry.
