PITTSBURGH -- Matt Murrays breakout performance in last years Stanley Cup playoffs earned the Pittsburgh Penguins goaltender a hefty raise.The 22-year-old and the team agreed to a three-year extension beginning next season that will pay Murray $3.75 million per season.Murray helped the Penguins to the franchises fourth championship last spring after taking over for injured Marc-Andre Fleury then held onto the job once Fleury returned from a concussion. Murray went 15-6 with a 2.08 goals against average and a .923 save percentage in the postseason. He would have been a restricted free agent at the end of this season. The new deal will keep him in the fold through 2020.Anybody in their right mind would want to be here, Murray said. Its awesome and Im really thrilled.The team approached Murray about a month ago and wasted little time ironing out the details. General manager Jim Rutherford called it a good deal for both sides. Murray will receive a significant bump from the $600,000 hell make this year but also doesnt leave the club cash strapped should things not pan out.Its why you do the bridge contracts, Rutherford said. Sometimes youre right and sometimes youre not. We have a young goalie thats had a very good career, hes won a Stanley Cup, played extremely well and we feel has a bright future ahead and a long future ahead.Murray has yet to play this season while recovering from a broken hand suffered while playing for Team North America in the World Cup of Hockey. While theres no timetable for his return, he practiced for a second consecutive day on Thursday. He called the fact he woke up on Thursday without any lingering pain from Wednesday a good sign.Im just trying to push myself in practice and see how it feels, Murray said.The extension will likely push the Penguins to make a decision at some point on who exactly is their franchise goaltender. Fleury, 31, is the winningest goalie in franchise history and is in the second year of a four-year extension he signed in 2014 that has an average annual value of $5.75 million. Rutherford, however, is in no hurry to reach a crossroads.Lets let this play itself out first, Rutherford said. Lets not just presume that Marc is automatically out. Hes been the franchise goalie here. Hes a terrific person. Hes a terrific player. That assumption (that hell be moved), were getting ahead ourself.Fleury will start on Thursday night when Pittsburgh hosts San Jose in a rematch of the 2016 Stanley Cup Final. Fleury is 2-1-1 with a 2.94 goals against average so far this season. Wholesale Air Max 720 . -- The Magic have their first victory of the new year. Air Max 720 Clearance Uk .ca!

MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. -- Brad Kaaya was getting tired of throwing short passes. So he called an audible to go deep, and thats when the Miami Hurricanes responded.And if this was Kaayas Miami farewell, it was stellar.Kaaya became Miamis all-time career passing leader, throwing for 396 yards and a career-high-tying four touchdowns as the Hurricanes beat Duke 40-21 on Saturday. Kaaya now has 9,686 yards in three seasons -- 121 more than Ken Dorsey, who piled up 9,565 from 1999 through 2002.Kaaya completed 22 of 35 passes and broke the mark with a 42-yard pass to Stacy Coley in the third quarter. Miami (8-4, 5-3 Atlantic Coast Conference) started breaking the game open when Kaaya decided to take a shot on a deep ball to tight end David Njoku, that audible turning into a 76-yard touchdown and the first of two long ones for Njoku in the game.I said `Screw it, and told David we were going to go, Kaaya said. It was beautiful.Coley made nine catches for 118 yards and a touchdown for Miami and Mark Walton also caught a TD pass for the Hurricanes, who have won four straight.Just a great victory, a great way to finish, Miami coach Mark Richt said. I like when we finish without a whole lot of drama at the end. We did that tonight.Daniel Jones completed 34 of 50 passes for 316 yards for Duke (4-8, 1-7), which will miss a bowl game for the first time in five seasons.We had some great moments this year, Duke center Austin Davis said. But we also had to overcome a lot of adversity as a team. We lost three captains and a lot of seniors went down. It was tough. Were going to look back at this year as overcoming adversity and learning from it.The teams combined for five scores in the games first five possessions, and Miamis lead was only 16-14 at the half. But Kaaya struck twice in the third quarter, hitting Njoku for the long score and then connecting with Coley to make it 33-14 not long after the record-breaking completion.Now the question becomes if this was Kaayas home finale.Going pro will be a serious option, and with good reason. This wwas the 11th 300-yard game of Kaayas college career, the fourth four-TD game hes had as a Hurricane and hes now the only quarterback in Miami history with three seasons of at least 3,000 yards.dddddddddddd.It might have crossed my mind a little bit, that it could be, Kaaya said, when asked if he considered the possibility that this was his last home game as a Hurricane. But Ive still got some things to look at, to factor in, to talk over and hash out with Coach Richt, my parents and some mentors of mine.THE TAKEAWAYDuke: Coach David Cutcliffe was emotional after the game, talking about his senior class. Im looking at our seniors and the body of work that theyve done. The pain in their eyes, knowing that its come to an end, you cant get past that, Cutcliffe said. Jones completed his first 10 passes, getting 119 yards and two touchdowns out of them. But the Blue Devils, after getting 14 points out their first two possessions, then sputtered to a halt. ... T.J. Rahming caught 10 passes for 117 yards and a touchdown for Duke.Miami: This was the first time this season Miami had two 100-yard receivers. ... Miami hadnt finished a regular season with four or more consecutive wins since 2002, when it was 12-0 going into the Fiesta Bowl. The Hurricanes will try to win a bowl game for the first time since 2006.SENIOR DAYMiami honored its 14 departing seniors in a pregame ceremony, as well as four underclassmen -- one being reserve offensive lineman Hunter Knighton, who recovered from heatstroke and returned to the field last season. Knighton will try to play elsewhere in 2017.KAAYA WATCHKaaya could be the first Miami quarterback to get taken in the first round in 30 years. Miami has had only two QBs go that early -- Jim Kelly (No. 14 overall) in 1983, and Vinny Testaverde (No. 1 overall) in 1987.UP NEXTDuke: Season complete.Miami: Awaiting bowl invitation on Dec. 4, possibly to the TaxSlayer or Pinstripe.
