Report: Maple Leafs’ Matt Murray to Have Meeting with Surgeon in ‘About A Week And A Half’s Time’ to Determine Playing Future This Season

Murray took part in the Maple Leafs’ morning skate on Tuesday, the first time he’s practiced with a full team this season.
Matt Murray could know his playing future for this season in the next few weeks.

The 29-year-old goaltender took part in his first full morning skate with the Maple Leafs this season on Tuesday morning, signifying another step in his recovery from bilateral hip surgery.

During Tuesday’s edition of Insider Trading, TSN’s Chris Johnston said Murray will have an appointment in the next two weeks, which could define whether we see the netminder play a game this season.

“I would say it’s a long shot that that happens, but it certainly isn’t entirely beyond the realm of possibility. There’s still a lot of hoops I think Murray has to get through before we’re even having that kind of conversation. But the mere fact, he was on the ice at Scotiabank Arena on Tuesday, the first time we’ve seen him skating with teammates since last season, at least the entire team. It’s another sign of progress,” Johnston reported on Tuesday evening.
