Joel Blomqvist has been recalled from Wilkes-Barre/Scranton (AHL).

The Penguins have recalled Blomqvist from the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins of the AHL as Tristan Jarry is day-to-day after suffering an undisclosed injury on Tuesday. Magnus Hellberg is expected to fill in for Jarry in his absence and will be backed up by Blomqvist in the interim. In seven games at the AHL level (4-2-0), Blomqvist has a 1.91 GAA and .920 SV%.

John Ludvig (concussion) has been placed on the injured reserve.

Ludvig made his NHL debut on October 24th but did not finish the game after suffering a concussion in a collision with Dallas Stars forward Radek Faksa. He has now been placed retroactively on the injured reserve. Ludvig was the 69th overall pick of the Florida Panthers in the 2019 NHL Entry Draft. Last season with the Charlotte Checkers of the AHL, Ludvig had 17 points (3G / 14A) in 54 games.

Tristan Jarry (undisclosed) is considered day-to-day until the Penguins provide more updates.

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.

Andreas Johnsson has been placed on unconditional waivers for the purpose of terminating his contract.

Johnsson is expected to have his contract terminated after being placed on unconditional waivers on Wednesday. The 28-year-old Sweed has had difficulty finding consistency at the NHL level despite showing flashes of high-pedigree play throughout his career. He has 116 points (48 G / 68A) in 259 career games.

Jarry will start in Anaheim on Tuesday.

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.

Tristan Jarry will start Saturday in San Jose.

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).

Matt Grzelyck (upper body) has been placed on the long-term injured reserve.

Grzelcyk suffered an upper-body injury in the first period of the Bruins' 3-2 victory over the Florida Panthers on Monday and has been placed on long-term injured reserve. Grzelcyk would have been a candidate to see a bump in playing time with Charlie McAvoy (suspension) out of the lineup for the next four games but instead, those duties will likely fall to Hampus Lindholm and Kevin Shattenkirk. The Bruins have also recalled defensemen Mason Lohrei, Ian Mitchell and Parker Wotherspoon.

Jarry will start Monday's game against the Ducks.

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.

Cody Glass (lower body) has been placed on the injured reserve.

Glass has missed the Predators' previous three games due to a lower-body injury and was placed on the injured reserve Monday with expectations he will be out for 1-2 more weeks. The 24-year-old centre has yet to pick up a point in 2023-24 through five games played but has nine SOG and two PIMs. Marc Del Gaizo was recalled from Milwaukee (AHL) to take his roster spot.

Jarry led the Penguins onto the ice for warmups.

Jarry stopped all 31 shots that he faced in the Penguins' shutout win over the Avalanche on Thursday. It was shocking performance from Jarry, who allowed a combined eight goals on 48 shots (.833 SV%) in his previous two outings. Tonight he'll take on a Penguins team that has lost three in a row and will be without Thomas Chabot, Artem Zub and Erik Brannstrom.

Jarry will return to the Penguins' crease after serving as backup to Alex Nedeljkovic in a 4-1 loss to the Dallas Stars on Tuesday.

The Penguins have hit a rough patch as a whole, losing three straight games and being outscored 14-6 in the process. Jarry and the Penguins will have their work cut out for them on Thursday as they are facing a Colorado Avalanche team that has yet to lose a game (6-0-0).
