One area where the Toronto Maple Leafs could use some help this season is in goal. Now they might just have some help coming from a very unlikely source.

Murray Back With Maple Leafs After Spending All Season Injured

Matt Murray, who signed a four-year deal with the Senators and was then traded to the Leafs, has spent the entire year on long-term injured reserve. At this point, many believed that his NHL days were over as the veteran netminder has dealt with numerous injuries throughout his career. However, recent reports suggest he may be close to a comeback. Leafs reporter Jonas Siegel reported today that Murray had a stall in the team's dressing room.

The Leafs have five stalls for goalies in their dressing room today: Ilya Samsonov, Joseph Woll, Martin Jones, Matt Murray, and Dennis Hildeby.

Leafs Fans Excited For Possible Murray Return

Needless to say, Leafs fans were particularly surprised to hear this news. Many took to social media to celebrate the possible return of the Stanley Cup champion.

Murray last played in the NHL last season when he appeared in 26 contests, putting up a 14-8-2 record, a 3.01 goals-against-average, and a .903 save percentage. Those numbers are not world beating, but if he can return at all this season, that would give the team just another layer of depth in goal. You never know when that might come in handy. After all, few Leafs fans would have expected Martin Jones to start as many games for the team as he has so far this season.
