TRANSACTIONS:

Selected by Carolina Hurricanes in sixth round (165th overall) of National Hockey League entry draft, 2008.

INJURIES:

Left game midway through second period with undisclosed injury, March 20, 2011.

FIRSTS:

Mike made his National Hockey League debut on December 6, 2011, at the Scotiabank Saddledome in Calgary. Cam Ward started the game for the Hurricanes, but was bombed by an impressive Calgary offense. With the score 6-3, Calgary, Murphy was inserted into the game. The Hurricanes closed the gap to 6-4, and pulled Murphy for an extra attacker. The Flames took advantage, with Jarome Iginla potting an empty-net tally. This would lead Murphy into National Hockey League history, as the Hurricanes would score twice in the final 32 seconds; therefore, Iginla's goal became the winner, and Murphy became the first netminder in National Hockey League history to suffer a loss before allowing a goal.
