The Pittsburgh Penguins have recalled goaltender Tristan Jarry from the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins of the American Hockey League.

Goalie Casey DeSmith has been re-assigned to WBS.

Jarry, 22, has won three straight games for WBS, including 18 saves on 20 shots in a 5-2 win at Bridgeport Saturday night. Jarry has started five games this year, going 3-2 with a 3.18 goals-against average and an .897 save percentage.

Last season, Jarry backstopped WBS to the top regular-season record in the AHL, compiling a 28-15-2 record, three shutouts, a 2.15 goals-against average and a .925 save percentage. He and DeSmith combined to win the Harry “Hap” Holmes Award after allowing the fewest goals in the AHL.

Jarry made his NHL debut for Pittsburgh in last year’s regular-season finale at Madison Square Garden against the New York Rangers. He has dressed as the backup goalie in the opening round of the NHL playoffs for the Penguins each of the last two seasons.
