Sheldon Keefe gives an update on Matt Murray & Calle Jarnkrok
The Toronto Maple Leafs are getting ready for their re-match with the Tampa Bay Lightning in the opening round of the playoffs, just over a week away.
The Maple Leafs still have 3 games left in their regular season, so their current goal is just to remain healthy and get the rest of their injured players healthy for the start of the playoffs.
As of right now, the Maple Leafs are using Ilya Samsonov as their starting goalie with Matt Murray suffering yet another injury at the hands of Detroit Red Wings Lucas Raymond:

He will travel on the trip & may skate tomorrow "He's close".

Sheldon Keefe says Matt Murray's status hasn't changed. The status of Samsonov's backup goaltender for tomorrow is still up in the air due to roster status and stuff. @BodogCA @RinkWideTOR� David Alter (@dalter) April 9, 2023
The Maple Leafs are under a lot of pressure to win a playoff round this season and these two will play a crucial role in helping with that.
