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.

Joseph returns to Pittsburgh where he spent the first four seasons of his career after just 23 games in St. Louis. Joseph failed to score as a Blue and has just two assists to his name on the season. He should see more consistent playing time for the Penguins after struggling to maintain a spot in the Blues lineup.

Timmins will slot back into his usual spot on the third pair after sitting out Sunday's game against the Sabres. Philippe Myers will sit in his place.

St. Ivany was injured in Wilkes-Barre/Scranton's AHL game on Tuesday and will be out week-to-week. The 25-year-old defenseman played 19 games with Pittsburgh to start the season but has been in the AHL since the beginning of December.

Tristan Jarry has been between the pipes for the Penguins' previous four games, but the club will turn to Nedeljkovic on Tuesday against the Los Angeles Kings. The 28-year-old Nedeljkovic has a subpar 3.37 GAA and .882 SV% in 13 appearances (4-5-3). The Penguins enter Tuesday's contest as +124 home underdogs against the Kings, one of the hottest teams in the NHL, sporting an 8-2-0 record in their last 10 games.
