Penguins Trade Matt Murray
The two-time Stanley Cup winning goalie's time with the Pens has ended.
PITTSBURGH, PA — The Matt Murray era ended for the Penguins on Wednesday as he was dealt to the Ottawa senators in exchange for forward prospect Jonathan Gruden and a second-round pick in the 2020 draft.
The Penguins announced the trade on Twitter.
Although Murray won two Stanley Cups with the Pens, the trade was no surprise after the Pens signed All-Star goalie Tristan Jarry to a three-year contract last weekend.
