Penguins recall veteran goaltender Tristan Jarry from Wilkes-Barre, send Blomqvist down

PITTSBURGH — The Pittsburgh Penguins are recalling a veteran goalie from their AHL affiliate.

Tristan Jarry was called back up to the NHL on Monday morning, and rookie Joel Blomqvist was reassigned to the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins.

Jarry was put on waivers and later assigned to Wilkes-Barre after going 8-8-4, with a 3.26 goals-against average and .886 save percentage in 22 games with the Penguins.

He was also sent to the team in October on a conditioning loan, only a few games after being pulled from the net after allowing three goals on five shots in the first period against the Buffalo Sabres.

Blomqvist is 4-9-1, with a 3.81 goals-against average and .885 save percentage in 15 games with the Penguins.
