Jarry will return to the crease on Tuesday, his seventh start in the last eight games. In his last outing, Jarry saved 25 of 27 shots (.926 SV%) in a 3-2 victory over the Montreal Canadiens, snapping a three-game losing skid for the Penguins. Entering Tuesday's matchup against the Winnipeg Jets, losers of three straight, the Penguins are slight -111 home favourites.

Kemp made his NHL debut 10 days ago when he appeared vs. Montreal and has been a healthy scratch since resulting in the defensemen being loaned back to Bakersfield (AHL) Tuesday.

Jarry will get the nod for the fifth consecutive game on Monday when the Penguins travel to Tempe to take on the Coyotes. Jarry took the loss his last time out, allowing three goals on 29 shots enroute to a 3-2 defeat in Vegas on Saturday. It was the fifth defeat Jarry's suffered in his last six starts, despite posting a respectable .910 SV% across that span. He's got a good chance of getting back in the win column on Monday with the Penguins being -150 favourites at Mullett Arena.

Cody Glass and Juuso Parssinen will be healthy scratches on Monday, allowing Tomasino and Michael McCarron to draw into the lineup. Tomasino is expected to play on the fourth line with McCarron and Cole Smith.
