Pittsburgh Penguins goaltender Matt Murray will be sidelined indefinitely with a concussion, coach Mike Sullivan said after Tuesday's practice.

It is Murray's second known concussion in eight months and third of his career.

Sullivan said the latest concussion occurred during Monday's practice. He said Murray immediately reported symptoms to the training staff.

Sullivan said the team is focusing more on Murray's health and not the number of a concussion he has suffered during his career.

"It's really hard to ... draw any conclusions with this stuff because I think everybody is different," Sullivan said. "That's been my experience in dealing with concussions over the years. The nature of these is different. Sometimes players bounce back extremely quick and others tend to linger and it's hard to predict."

The 24-year-old Murray has allowed 11 goals in two games this season.

The two-time Stanley Cup-winning goalie has a 69-29-8 record and 2.64 goals-against average in 113 regular-season appearances (107 starts).
