KANATA, Ontario — Matt Murray was rock solid against his old team, resembling the goalie who got the Penguins back to the top of the NHL in 2016 and 2017.
But Tuesday night, it would be Murray’s former backup who got the victory.
Casey DeSmith, who has struggled for much of this season, took another step in the right direction. He got the shutout to outduel Murray and help the Penguins beat the Ottawa Senators, 2-0, at a quiet, mostly vacant Canadian Tire Centre.
