The Nashville Predators have announced that they have signed goaltender Matt Murray to a two-year, two-way contract extension. At the NHL level, he will carry a $775,000 cap hit.
Murray, 27, signed a one-year deal with the Predators this past off-season. Now, with this extension, he will continue to be a part of the Predators' goalie depth.
Murray has spent the entirety of this season down in the AHL with the Milwaukee Admirals. The St. Albert, Alberta native has been excellent for Milwaukee, posting a 25-10-5 record, a .930 save percentage, a 2.15 goals-against average, and two shutouts in 40 appearances. He was also named to the AHL All-Star Classic because of his strong play.
With numbers like these, it is understandable that the Predators wanted to keep Murray around. Overall, there is no risk in the Predators signing Murray to this extension, and he will continue to be a key part of the Admirals' roster from here.
