The Penguins have recalled Tristan Jarry from Wilkes-Barre/Scranton (AHL).
Matt Murray is day-to-day with an upper-body injury so Jarry is expected to serve as Casey DeSmith’s backup on Thursday. Murray is on the road-trip with the Penguins, so it doesn’t appear like Jarry’s stay with the big club will be an extended one.

Murray will join the Penguins on their three-game road-trip, which suggests that the injury isn’t serious. However, Tristan Jarry was recalled from the AHL which means that Jarry will likely backup Casey DeSmith on Thursday.
