Reign: Murray an all-star. Update.

John Murray was named to the ECHL all-star game to replace Jeff Zatkoff on Saturday. Zatkoff left during the third period of the Reign’s OT loss to the Utah Grizzlies on Friday with an undisclosed injury. It’s safe to assume the two events are related. But whether Zatkoff is being held out of the game next Wednesday as a mere precaution, or because of an injury that would prevent him from playing a regular game, remains to be seen.

The 21-year-old Murray is 11-8-1 with two shutouts, a goals-against average of 2.51 and a save percentage of . 926 in 21 games for Ontario.

Update: Zatkoff went on 3-day injured reserve today and Briggs (who went on 3-day IR Wednesday, not Thursday) came off.
