HUGE NEWS FOR THE PENGUINS UPON TONIGHTS GAME 7
The Pittsburgh Penguins had one heck of a regular season finishing with 103 points, 46 wins. A huge part of their regular seasons success came from their goaltending, Tristan Jarry and Casey DeSmith who have stood tall.
Tristan Jarry himself was in Vezina trophy finalist talks as his save percentage toppled over former Vezina winners Andrei Vasilevskiys. Goaltending has been a huge factor within the first three games of this Rangers vs Penguins series as game 1 went to triple overtime, Rangers goaltender Sheshterkin tallying over 80 saves. Game one is when the goaltending issues started, Casey DeSmith went down in overtime after making 48 saves he started to cramp up which lead to a muscle tear.
Since game 1 the Penguins have been running with their AHL affiliate goaltender Louis Domingue who has been quite shaky, and a main reason why Pittsburgh is struggling on the back end.
Thankfully NHL.com's Joe Sargent confirmed that Tristan Jarry will be making a return and starting between the pipes for game 7 on Sunday, as he has been out since mid-April with a foot injury.
As well as the teams glue, Sidney Crosby expected to make a return after a hit to the head from Jacob Trouba.
