Murray earns 3rd straight playoff shutout

Matt Murray wasn't exactly overworked, but he kept his playoff shutout streak intact nonetheless.

The Pittsburgh Penguins goaltender stopped all 24 shots he faced as he notched his third consecutive postseason shutout in a 7-0 shellacking of the Philadelphia Flyers in Game 1 of their first-round series Wednesday night.

Murray also recorded shutouts in Games 5 and 6 of the 2017 Stanley Cup Final, in which the Penguins prevailed over the Nashville Predators.

He turned aside all 24 shots he faced in Game 5 and stopped all 27 that came his way in Game 6 last June.
