Jarry will start Friday in Brooklyn.

Jarry stopped 16 of 17 shots before leaving Tuesday’s game in Philadelphia with an undisclosed injury. Despite leaving the game, Jarry was back on the ice on Thursday and backed up Matt Murray. Jarry will start the tail-end of the back-to-back and has a nice matchup against an Islanders team that has lost four straight and 11 of their last 15 (4-9-2).

Letang (lower-body) will be a game-time decision on Tuesday.

Letang has missed the last three games with a lower-body injury but was on the ice for today’s morning skate and will be a game-time decision in Philadelphia. Letang’s offensive numbers are strong this season, posting two goals and 23 assists (25 points) in 37 games but is a minus-15, which lowers his value in leagues that track plus-minus.

Jarry will start Tuesday in Philadelphia.

Jarry allowed two goals on 33 shots in the Penguins loss in Carolina last Friday. Matt Murray returned to the crease in Detroit on Sunday, but the Penguins will give Jarry another look tonight in Philadelphia. The young netminder faced the Flyers earlier this season, stopping eight of 10 shots in a relief in a 5-4 OT win.

Letang (lower-body) is not expected to play in Detroit on Sunday.

Letang took the ice for the Penguins morning skate but stayed on late which indicates that he will be scratched for the third consecutive game. Being available this morning suggests that Letang may be ready for Tuesday’s game in Philadelphia.

Letang (lower-body) will not travel to Carolina but could join the team on their road-trip.

Letang will miss his second straight game with a lower-body injury but it doesn’t sound like he will be sidelined for an extended period of time because the Penguins expect him to join the team at some point during their brief three-game road trip.

Letang is day-to-day with a lower-body injury; won't play Wednesday vs. the Blue Jackets.

Letang has had injury issues throughout his career but has appeared in the first 37 games of 2017-18 prior to missing tonight’s game. With Letang out, Matt Hunwick will draw back into the lineup and play on the top pairing with Brian Dumoulin. Olli Maatta will slide in on the top power-play unit.
