Sullivan described Murray's status as week-to-week.

Murray left Wednesday night's game against Carolina after the second period.

Marc-Andre Fleury replaced Murray in goal as the Penguins rallied for a 3-2 win.

Murray, who signed a three-year contract extension with the Penguins in October, missed the beginning of the NHL season after breaking his hand at the World Cup of Hockey.

Murray, 22, is 13-3-1 with a 2.18 goals-against average and a .928 save percentage this season. Fleury, 32, is 11-5-4 with a 3.13 GAA and a .908 save percentage.

In response, the Penguins recalled goaltender Tristan Jarry from Wilkes-Barre/Scranton of the American Hockey League and re-assigned defenseman Derrick Pouliot.

The 21-year-old Jarry is 13-5-1 with a 2.15 GAA, a .921 save percentage and one shutout in the AHL this season.
