Penguins to start goaltender Tristan Jarry in rematch with Devils
The Penguins are scheduled to start goaltender Tristan Jarry for Thursday’s home game against the New Jersey Devils at PPG Paints Arena.
Coach Mike Sullivan announced Jarry’s status via video conference.
Jarry was in net for Tuesday’s 7-6 home win against the New Jersey Devils. He made 24 saves on 30 shots in that contest with all six goals coming in the third period on only 11 shots.
In 31 games this season, Jarry has a 19-8-3 record, along with a 2.85 goals against average and a .906 save percentage.
Notes:
• Sullivan labeled forward Kasperi Kapanen as a “game-time decision.”
Removed from injured reserve on Thursday afternoon, Kapanen has been sidelined due to a suspected left foot injury since March 24.
He participated in Thursday’s optional morning skate a day after being a full participant during a practice in Cranberry with no limitations on contact.
In 30 games this season, Kapanen has 21 points (seven goals, 14 assists).
• Sullivan indicated forward Brandon Tanev has resumed skating on his own for the first time since suffering an undisclosed injury April 3.
Currently on long-term injured reserve, Tanev has 16 points (seven goals, nine assists) in 32 games this season.
