Pittsburgh Penguins News

Jarry saved all 21 shots he faced before exiting the game late in the second period after Ducks' forward Adam Henrique collided with his head and is considered day-to-day. Hellberg entered the game and saved 11 shots en route to an eventual 2-0 victory over the Anaheim Ducks. If Jarry misses any extended time, expect Hellberg to take on starting duties for the Penguins as Alex Nedeljkovic is also out of the lineup, on long-term injured reserve with a lower-body injury.

It's been a very hot and cold start to the 2023-24 season for Jarry. The 28-year-old netminder is tied for the league lead with two shutouts to his name, but he also boasts an unsavory .897 SV% and a 2.73 GAA across eight starts. Jarry and the Penguins will be looking to build off a dominant win in San Jose on Saturday, when Jarry turned away 24 of the 26 shots he faced enroute to the 10-2 routing. Jarry and the Penguins somewhat curiously find themselves as heavy road favourites (-190) in Anaheim tonight despite the Ducks' impressive start to the season.

Harvey-Pinard appears to be inching closer to a return but will remain out of the Canadiens' lineup on Tuesday. Harvey-Pinard hasn't played since leaving Thursday's contest against the Arizona Coyotes with a lower-body injury after just six shifts and 5:06 TOI. The 24-year-old has yet to score this season but has four assists, nine SOG, and two PIMs in 10 games played before his injury.

Bemstrom has played 10 games with the Blue Jackets this season, recording four points (1G / 3A), 17 shots, and a -5 plus/minus rating. He is expected to be a healthy scratch on Monday, allowing Mathieu Olivier to draw back into the lineup.

Jarry allowed four goals on 27 shots (.852 SV%) in his previous start as he lost his fourth contest in five games but will take the crease Saturday in San Jose. The 28-year-old has struggled mightily in 2023-24, with his 2-5-0 record, .893 SV% and 2.84 GAA. He has the fortune of drawing the winless San Jose Sharks Saturday, who have lost all 10 games this season and have horrendously averaged on one goals per game (32nd in NHL).

Harvey-Pinard left Montreal's game vs. Arizona Thursday with a lower-body injury after just six shifts and 5:06 TOI and is now considered day-to-day and will not play Saturday vs. St Louis. The 24-year-old has yet to score this season but has four assists, nine SOG, and two PIMs in 10 games played prior to his injury.

Clifton was suspended for two games for an illegal check to the head of Nico Hiscier on October 27th. Clifton skated alongside Erik Johnson on the third pair in Thursday's practice, which is where he will likely suit up when he returns to the lineup on Friday vs. the Flyers. Prior to the suspension, Clifton had one assist, a minus-6 rating, 12 SOG and 23 hits in eight games.

Harvey-Pinard played only 5:06 before needing to leave the game with an undisclosed injury. Entering Thursday night's game, Harvey-Pinard was averaging 14:23 time-on-ice and had four points (0G / 4A) in nine games. Alex Newhook jumped onto the top line to replace Harvey-Pinard after his exit.

Wotherspoon was recalled Wednesday after putting up an assist, six PIMs, and a -1 plus/minus in six games with Providence (AHL) and will make his Boston Bruins debut Thursday vs. Toronto. The 26-year-old defensemen signed a one-year, $775,000 deal with Boston in the offseason and has an assist, 10 SOG, four PIMs and a +5 plus/minus in 12 career games played after debuting in 2022-23 with the New York Islanders.

Jones was a precautionary call-up by the Avalanche on Wednesday but did not make it into the lineup as, game-time decisions Cale Makar and Bowen Byram were both deemed fit to play. Jones has now been reassigned to the Colorado Eagles of the AHL where he has four points (0G / 4A) in eight games.

Wotherspoon was recalled along with Mason Lohrei and Ian Mitchell to give the Bruins options on their blueline as they will be without Charlie McAvoy (suspension) and Matt Grzelcyk (upper body). Wotherspoon was a fourth-round pick of the New York Islanders in the 2015 NHL Entry Draft and played his first 12 NHL games with the Islanders last season, recording one point (0G / 1A) four penalty minutes, and a +5 plus/minus rating.

Jones was recalled from the Colorado Eagles of the AHL, where he has four points (0G / 4A) in eight games this season. The Texas-born defenseman has yet to play at the NHL level this season after playing 73 games with the Chicago Blackhawks last season, recording 16 points (4G / 12A).

Heinen has been at camp with Boston on a PTO since the preseason and will make his season debut on Monday after he finally signed a one-year, $775,000 contract earlier today. The 28-year-old left-winger had eight goals, 14 assists, 96 SOG, 12 PIMs, and a -5 plus/minus in 65 games with Pittsburgh in 2022-23. He is entering his eighth NHL season and returns to Boston where he spent the first four years of his career. Patrick Brown will sit out in place of Heinen.

Jarry will start for the Penguins on Monday as he attempts to find more consistency in his game. Through six starts this season, three are very high quality while the other three are borderline dreadful. In his three quality starts (2-1-0), Jarry has a .965 SV% along with two shutouts, contrasting severely with his other three starts (0-3-0), where he has registered a .821 SV%. Jarry and the Penguins will hope to get their games in order on Monday as they are -236 home favourites against an Anaheim Ducks team that has quietly won three straight games, outscoring their opposition 14-9.
