WILKES-BARRE, Pa. - The Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins announced today that the Pittsburgh Penguins have reassigned goaltender Sergei Murashov to Wilkes-Barre/Scranton from their ECHL affiliate, the Wheeling Nailers.
Murashov is 2-0-0 with Wilkes-Barre/Scranton this season, his first in North America. In his two AHL games, Murashov has a 2.50 goals against average and a .919 save percentage.
Murashov is also 15-3-1 with Wheeling. That record featured a 13-game win streak that lasted from Nov. 6 until it was broken in overtime on Jan. 8. It was the longest winning streak by a goalie in Nailers history, and the longest winning streak by a rookie in ECHL history.
Overall, the 20-year-old sports a 2.41 goals against average and .919 save percentage as a Nailer. His 15 wins place Murashov in tie for second-most in the ECHL and first among league rookies.
