Penguins' Jarry out until after All-Star break due to injury
Pittsburgh Penguins goaltender Tristan Jarry will miss at least the next two games.
Jarry won't be available for Thursday's road clash with the Washington Capitals or Saturday's home date with the San Jose Sharks due to an upper-body ailment, head coach Mike Sullivan said Wednesday, according to team reporter Michelle Crechiolo.
The Penguins' All-Star break begins Sunday, and they won't play again until Feb. 7, when they host the Colorado Avalanche.
Jarry was a late scratch for Pittsburgh's 7-6 win over the Florida Panthers on Tuesday night. Before that, he made consecutive starts after missing seven games because of an injury he sustained in the Winter Classic on Jan. 2.
The 27-year-old is 16-5-5 with a .921 save percentage - the latter of which would tie his career high if he sustains it - over 27 contests this season. Jarry ranks 10th in the NHL with 9.03 goals saved above average at five-on-five, and he sits 18th with 5.49 goals saved above expected in those situations, according to Evolving-Hockey.
Casey DeSmith and Dustin Tokarski will fill the void in the Penguins' crease.
Jarry has spent his entire career with the Penguins, who drafted him 44th overall in 2013.
