Ottawa Senators goaltender Matt Murray has been scratched from his start against the Toronto Maple Leafs Sunday after suffering an upper-body injury in warmup.

Joey Daccord will make his fifth career start in Murray’s place, with Kevin Mandolese — who has never appeared in an NHL game — backing up.

Injury/roster update: #Sens goaltender Matt Murray sustained an upper-body injury during the warmup of tonight's game vs @MapleLeafs and will not dress this evening.

As a result, G Kevin Mandolese has been recalled from the team's taxi squad on an emergency basis.

Daccord’s last start came on Friday in a 6-2 loss to the Edmonton Oilers.

Senators centre Colin White, who missed one game with a lower-body injury, is back in the lineup Sunday.
