Konecny did not play Saturday vs. Rangers
Travis Konecny (upper body) did not play Saturday against the Rangers after he was hurt at Friday’s practice. Konecny’s injury is considered minor, so his status for Sunday’s tilt in Pittsburgh is still to be determined. He has 27 goals and 54 points in 57 contests this season. Konecny will be replaced in the lineup by Tyson Foerster, who returns to action after missing four games with a lower-body injury.
Jarry Stops 30 in Win vs. Canadiens
Tristan Jarry turned aside 30 of 31 shots in a 4-1 victory over the Canadiens on Thursday. After giving up a goal to Mike Matheson in the first period, Jarry proceeded to blank the Canadiens over the final two frames while the Penguins scored four unanswered goals to give him the win. The victory ended a three-game losing skid for Jarry, as he improves to 14-17-4 with a .914 save percentage and 2.50 GAA this season. The Penguins are back in action Sunday at home versus Philadelphia.
