– DeSmith starts against Islanders
– Jarry skated this morning, ?getting a lot closer to return to play, but he?s not quite there yet?; wouldn?t rule out tomorrow night vs NJ
– Rutta out tonight, skated this AM
– Poehling/Friedman didn?t make trip
Jarry has missed the past eight games for the Pens due to an upper-body injury. The starting ‘tender has been practicing with the team for about a week, and his return was considered imminent. Well, Saturday versus the New Jersey Devils in the second half of back-to-back games seems to be the day for Jarry.
While Casey DeSmith has done a solid job filling in, Pittsburgh is a better team with Jarry between the pipes. The Penguins currently occupy the first wildcard slot in the Eastern Conference but are in quite a battle with several other teams for one of those last two playoff spots.
On Saturday, the Pens are +210 (-1.5) on the puck line versus the Devils and -110 on the moneyline, with an over/under of 6.5, over (-118), and under (-104). You can find the lines and props for this game and all others on the FanDuel Sportsbook.
