Penguins Call Up Sergei Murashov
The Pittsburgh Penguins announced on Tuesday that Tristan Jarry has been placed on injured reserve. Top goaltending prospect Sergei Murashov is being called up from Wilkes-Barre/Scranton.
For Penguins’ fans, the youth movement has already made its presence early in the season, with 2025 first round pick Ben Kindel and top defenseman prospect Harrison Brunicke. Pittsburgh will now get a look at Murashov during Jarry’s absence.
Murashov was a fourth round draft choice of the Penguins in 2022.
Last season, the Russian born netminder was in net for 26 games with the Wheeling Nailers, where he registered a .922 save percentage, along with a 2.40 goals against average. He was then promoted to Wilkes-Barre/Scranton, and was equally as impressive; posting a save percentage of .913 and a 2.64 GAA.
Despite a good showing in the Prospects Challenge and the preseason, Murashov was sent back to WBS. In seven games, he’s put up a .931 save percentage and a 1.73 GAA. On Tuesday, Murashov was named the AHL’s Goaltender of the Month for October.
Penguins head coach Dan Muse had been going with a goalie rotation of Tristan Jarry and Arturs Silovs, so I would expect that experiment would be used for Silovs and Murashov.
