Murray completed the feat in just 36 games, one quicker than Bill Durnan, Terry Sawchuk, Gerry Cheevers, Grant Fuhr, and Patrick Roy - all of whom are enshrined in the Hockey Hall of Fame.
The Nashville Predators forward returned to the lineup Wednesday for Game 4 against the Colorado Avalanche, marking his first appearance of the playoffs after missing the last 16 games with an upper-body injury.

Earlier in the game Crosby set up Evgeni Malkin to tie the record.
While Crosby does take over the record, it's worth noting that it took the Penguins captain 152 playoff games to hit the mark, while Lemieux put up his 172 points in just 107 contests.
The play occurred late in the first period of Game 4 between the teams. With Minnesota on the powerplay, Morrissey hit Staal with a high cross-check that was not whistled for a penalty.
The referee later apologized to Staal, but the missed call still left Wild head coach Bruce Boudreau feeling irate, especially considering a penalty would have given the Wild a lengthy two-man advantage and an opportunity to tie the game.
The Wild trail the Jets 3-1 in the opening-round series.
Bergeron earns another nomination with four career Selke wins already on his resume. Despite being limited to 64 games this season, the 32-year-old finished sixth in faceoff percentage with a mark of 57.3 percent
The loss is significant for the Flyers, as Couturier logs heavy minutes in all situations and anchors the top line as the club's most effective center at both ends of the ice. The 25-year-old set new career-highs across the board this season with 31 goals and 45 assists before contributing three points in three games to begin the playoffs.
There is no word yet on whether Couturier will be available for Game 5 or beyond.
Byron has been quite a find for the Habs. He's been one of the team's most productive forwards since being claimed off waivers prior to the 2015-16 season, finishing second on the roster with 20 goals this year after a breakout 22-goal campaign a season ago.
With a six-month recovery timeline, it's unlikely the soon-to-be 29-year-old will be ready for the start of the 2018-19 season.
