The Toronto Maple Leafs have faced a setback with the injury issues of their goaltender Matt Murray.
However, there's some promising news that he's on the road to recovery and will be joining the team for practice and their upcoming five-game road trip. Head coach Sheldon Keefe confirmed that Murray will practice with the team and is expected to travel with them.
Murray has been a key player for the Maple Leafs in his first season, with an impressive record of 11-5-2, 2.73 goals against average, and a .911 save percentage. The team is hopeful that he'll be able to return soon, as he becomes eligible to be activated from Long Term Injured Reserve on March 1.
The road trip ahead will be a challenging test for the Leafs, with matches against the Seattle Kraken, Edmonton Oilers, Calgary Flames, Vancouver Canucks, and the New Jersey Devils. Despite the uncertainty of Murray's return, the team will be determined to give their best performance and make a mark in the upcoming games.
