The Toronto Maple Leafs re-signed goaltender Matt Murray to a one-year, $875,000 deal on Tuesday.

Murray, 30, missed all of last season following bilateral hip surgery in October. It was the final year of his four-year, $25 million contract he signed with Ottawa in 2020.

Murray played just 26 games with Toronto in 2022-23, finishing 14-8-2 with a one shutout, a 3.01 goals-against average and a .903 save percentage. He last played April 2.

A two-time Stanley Cup champion with Pittsburgh, Murray is 146-86-24 with a .910 save percentage, a 2.79 GAA and 15 shutouts with the Penguins (2015-20), Senators (2020-22) and Maple Leafs. He also is 29-21 with a .921 save percentage and 2.18 GAA in 51 playoff games (50 starts).

Toronto acquired Murray in July 2022 from the Senators.
