I swear there's a black cloud 
over this guy's head!
Ottawa Senators goaltender Matt Murray left Saturday's clash versus the New York Rangers late in the third period after sustaining an apparent injury.
Anton Forsberg replaced Murray in the contest.
The 27-year-old left immediately after Chris Kreider scored to make it 2-1 Senators. Kreider collided with Murray's head after tapping home a feed from Artemi Panarin.
The Rangers scored twice following Murray's exit and won in regulation.
Murray missed the first week of the campaign due to an illness. He made 22 stops for a loss in his first start of the season Thursday versus the San Jose Sharks.

New Jersey Devils goaltender Mackenzie Blackwood is vaccinated against COVID-19 and will be eligible to play by the time the team takes its first road trip to Canada, according to Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman.
Blackwood, who was one of the last remaining unvaccinated NHLers, will reportedly be cleared by Dec. 3, when the Devils are scheduled to play an away game versus the Winnipeg Jets.
The netminder, who'll turn 25 six days later, admitted in September he wasn't vaccinated, citing health reasons. He said he was undecided about getting the shot and wanted to take his time determining whether to do so.
The NHL's COVID-19 protocols allow teams to suspend unvaccinated players if they're unable to participate in club activities. The Devils didn't suspend Blackwood but he hasn't played yet this season.
The Canadian goalie, who's reportedly on Team Canada's long list for the 2022 Olympic Games, said in early October he was leaning toward getting the vaccine.
Detroit Red Wings forward Tyler Bertuzzi is the NHL's lone remaining unvaccinated player, according to Friedman.

Disappointing outcome for the Kraken, but a hellvua experience going to the home opener. That last goal on Grubauer was pretty soft. Have to wonder if he maintains his starter spot for long. We still seem like we haven’t found our exact chemistry, but soon hopefully.

The Ottawa Senators will place goaltender Matt Murray on injured reserve with a head/neck ailment, head coach D.J. Smith said Sunday, according to the Ottawa Sun's Bruce Garrioch.
The 27-year-old exited Saturday's contest against the New York Rangers in the third period after forward Chris Kreider collided with his head.
Meanwhile, Senators forward Shane Pinto is expected to miss a week or two, but his injury is "a little better than we thought," said Smith.
Pinto left Thursday's game against the San Jose Sharks with an upper-body injury after crashing into the boards following a hard hit from defenseman Mario Ferraro. Smith said at the time that he didn't believe Pinto suffered any structural damage.
Ottawa recalled netminder Filip Gustavsson earlier Sunday.
The Senators take on the Washington Capitals on Monday at 7 p.m.

He was cursed when the Pens chose not to re-sign Fleury... and so were the Pens. I get that the decision made financial sense and why the team believed he was a worthy replacement but I still think it hurt both the player and the franchise... maybe it's the curse of the black flower?I swear there's a black cloud

The Chicago Blackhawks find themselves in the NHL record books for the wrong reasons.
The Blackhawks fell to 0-5-1 on the season with a 6-3 loss to the Detroit Red Wings on Sunday, during which time they've never held a lead. At 360:57, it's the longest streak without holding a lead to begin a season since at least 1979-80, Sportradar told The Associated Press' Jay Cohen.
Chicago made a flurry of offseason splashes to try and get the franchise back on track after four mediocre years, acquiring Seth Jones, Marc-Andre Fleury, and Tyler Johnson, among others.
However, the moves haven't panned out, as the Blackhawks have been outscored 27-12 and sit dead-last in league standings by virtue of points percentage.
To make matters worse, Chicago's 2022 first-round pick belongs to the Columbus Blue Jackets as part of the Jones deal, although it's lottery protected.
The Blackhawks' next chance at picking up their first win of the season comes Wednesday against the Toronto Maple Leafs.

The San Jose Sharks traded forward Dylan Gambrell to the Ottawa Senators for a 2022 seventh-round pick, the teams announced Sunday.
The draft pick originally belonged to San Jose, but Ottawa acquired it in January in exchange for defenseman Christian Jaros.
Gambrell, a second-round pick of the Sharks in 2016, has skated in 110 career NHL games, recording 10 goals and 13 assists. The 25-year-old center has been productive in the minors, though, tallying 58 points in 69 AHL contests.
"Dylan's a player whose progress we've monitored since his collegiate career at the University of Denver," Senators general manager Pierre Dorion said. "He's a good skating center, a strong checker, and a responsible penalty killer. We have a void at center on account of some recent injuries and Dylan will help us with that need."
The Sens are shorthanded down the middle of the ice, as Shane Pinto is expected to miss one-to-two weeks and Colin White is out until at least February.
This marks the fifth trade made between Dorion and Sharks GM Doug Wilson.
