The Ottawa Senators recalled veteran goalie Matt Murray from Belleville of the American Hockey League on Tuesday.
The move came one day after goalie Anton Forsberg entered COVID-19 protocols.
Murray, 27, cleared waivers and was assigned to Belleville in late November after going winless in six games this season, posting a .890 save percentage. He allowed five goals over two appearances for the AHL Senators.
Ottawa acquired Murray from the Penguins ahead of the 2020-21 season and immediately signed him to a four-year, $25-million contract. Forsberg and Filip Gustavsson -- who is also currently in protocols -- have shared the net during Murray's AHL stint.
The Senators (9-17-2) last played Dec. 18 -- a 4-3 overtime loss to the Philadelphia Flyers -- and are currently scheduled to resume play on Friday when they host the Pittsburgh Penguins.
