Matt Murray makes 25 saves for 1st NHL win in nearly 21 months as Maple Leafs beat Sabres 6-3

Associated Press  

BUFFALO, N.Y. — Toronto Maple Leafs goalie Matt Murray felt tingles in making sure to take in the moment during pregame warmups and the national anthem before making his first NHL start in nearly 21 months. “A big release,” Murray said, in coming to the realization of the exhaustive work he’s put in spending much of the past year rehabbing following bilateral hip surgery. Otherwise, Murray spent much of the past calendar year wondering if he’ll ever play another NHL game again, while regaining his form with the Maple Leafs’ AHL affiliate. Went through a lot and very happy for him.” Murray made several key stops in the opening two periods, and got a boost from Toronto’s offense in building a 5-1 lead over the slumping Sabres, who dropped to 0-9-3 in their past 12.
