Brief and to the Point ...
The Penguins perform better as a group in front of Matt Murray than in front of Marc-Andre Fleury.
It's not a myth, and it's not some narrative: They've got a 7-1 record with Murray, 6-5-3 with Fleury. They allow 1.75 goals and 28.6 shots per game with Murray, 3.38 goals and 33.3 shots per game with Fleury. And if you want to go all fancy-stats on the process, according to NaturalStatTrick.com, they command 64.8 percent of a game's high-danger scoring changes when Murray's playing, 53.2 percent when it's Fleury.
Pretty powerful evidence there, I'd say.
