Penguins goaltender Tristan Jarry to miss preseason game against Red Wings
Penguins goaltender Tristan Jarry will not play in Monday’s preseason road game against the Detroit Red Wings at Little Caesars Arena due to an illness. Penguins coach Mike Sullivan announced Jarry’s status following a morning skate at the team’s facility in Cranberry.
Backup Casey DeSmith is scheduled to start in place of Jarry while goaltending prospect Filip Lindberg is expected to be recalled from Wilkes-Barre/Scranton of the American Hockey League to back up DeSmith. The team assigned Lindberg to Wilkes-Barre/Scranton on Sunday.
A two-time All-Star, Jarry has appeared in two games this preseason and has a 0-2-0 record, a 4.14 goals against average and an .875 save percentage.
DeSmith has also played in two games this preseason and has yet to record a result. His goals against average is 2.88 and he has an .850 save percentage.
