On Saturday morning, the Pittsburgh Penguins announced some bad news, news that might have a significant influence on the team not only in the remainder of the regular season, but also in the Stanley Cup playoffs.
Pittsburgh Penguins head coach Mike Sullivan stated that veteran goalkeeper Tristan Jarry would miss significant time with a lower body ailment. When you consider that the Penguins have just six regular-season games remaining until the playoffs, it's difficult to fathom how the timing of a significant injury to their starting goalkeeper could be any worse.
"The only information that I have right now is that he is out with a lower-body injury and his status is week-to-week," said Sullivan on Saturday.
The Penguins need a goalie to be hot as soon as possible or their playoff run is already done before it even started.
