Dakota Mermis will be a healthy scratch on Monday against the Dallas Stars, allowing Kolyachonok to re-enter the lineup. The 23-year-old Kolyachonok is averaging 12:26 time-on-ice and has five points (2G / 3A) in 17 games this season.

Jarry was solid on Saturday, saving 24 of 26 shots (.923 SV%) in a one-sided 3-0 loss to the New Jersey Devils when Pittsburgh only managed 12 shots on goal. The 29-year-old Jarry has an ugly 3.51 GAA and .885 SV% in 15 appearances (7-5-2) but has been better lately, posting a .900 SV% in his last eight games (5-2-1). The Penguins enter Monday's contest as slight -116 home favorites against a Philadelphia Flyers team that snapped a three-game losing skid in their last outing, a 5-4 overtime win over the Columbus Blue Jackets.

Jarry had the night off in Tuesday's 3-2 win over the Los Angeles Kings but will return to the crease on Thursday for a Penguins squad that is suddenly soaring. The 29-year-old Jarry has an ugly 3.59 GAA and .885 SV% in 13 appearances this season (6-4-2) but has been better lately, posting a .905 SV% in his last six (4-1-1). The Penguins have points in eight of their last 10 (7-2-1) and enter Thursday's contest as +139 road underdogs against a Nashville Predators club coming off a 2-0 win over the New York Rangers.

The Penguins needed to create a roster spot after acquiring Pierre-Olivier Joseph from the Blues on Wednesday. Clurman has one goal and four assists in 16 AHL games this season and is yet to make his NHL debut.
