TORONTO -- Thunder Bay goaltender Matt Murray is headed to the Toronto Maple Leafs.
The NHL team on Monday announced they'd acquired the two-time Stanley Cup-winning netminder, along with a third-round pick in 2023 and a seventh-round pick in 2024, in return for future considerations.
Murray, who won championships with Pittsburgh in 2016 and 2017, spent the past two seasons in Ottawa, but injuries limited his effectiveness.
According to reports, Ottawa will also retain 25 per cent of Murray's $6.25-million annual salary. The 28-year-old has two years remaining on his contract.
Murray was 5-12-2 with a 3.05 goals against average and a .906 save percentage in 20 games for Ottawa and has a 132-78-32 career record since making his NHL debut in the 2015-16 campaign.
The Leafs were in need of a goaltender following the expected departure of Jack Campbell via free agency. Campbell is widely expected to sign with the Edmonton Oilers on Wednesday, when the free agent period opens.
