Penguins set to run with Murray-Jarry tandem down the stretch

The Pittsburgh Penguins appear to have settled on a goalie tandem for the balance of the season, recalling Tristan Jarry from the AHL's Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins to complement starter Matt Murray.

Murray was recently absent from the team following the death of his father, while Jarry had been sent down in lieu of Casey DeSmith, who has now been returned to the AHL affiliate after allowing three goals on 38 shots in a loss to New Jersey on Saturday.

Jarry won all three of his starts during his minor-league stint, stopping 80 of 85 shots for a .941 save percentage. In 18 NHL appearances this season, he's posted a record of 9-4-2 with a .919 save percentage.

Murray is expected to get the lion's share of the starts as the playoffs draw near.
