It's not often you see goalies play in back-to-back nights, but the Pittsburgh Penguins are still without Tristan Jarry.
For the second game in as many nights, the Casey DeSmith will be the starting goalie for the Pittsburgh Penguins.
Third string goalie Dustin Tokarski will serve as backup while Tristan Jarry remains absent from the Penguins lineup.
Head coach Mike Sullivan named DeSmith the starter against the Anaheim Ducks and hinted that he may start the following night against the Los Angeles Kings.
Without a morning skate, it was unclear who of the three netminders would be starting for the Penguins.
DeSmith made 28 saves in the Penguins 6-3 victory over the Ducks.
It's not often you see goalies start in back-to-back nights, but without a healthy Jarry, the Penguins aren't taking any chances with Tokarski.
The Penguins were without defenseman Kris Letang in Anaheim, but Sullivan stated that he will be available to return against the Kings.
Letang missed the game due to illness and it wasn’t expected he would be out long.
