The Pittsburgh Penguins are scheduled to start goaltender Tristan Jarry for Sunday’s home game against the New York Rangers at PPG Paints Arena.

His status was announced via a statement from the team approximately two hours before the game.

This season, Jarry has appeared in 34 games and has a 19-7-6 record, a 2.89 goals against average, a .912 save percentage and one shutout.

In the lone meeting between the two teams to this point in the season, a 3-2 home win by the Penguins on Dec. 22, Jarry made 26 saves on 28 shots.
