The Pittsburgh Penguins will have a couple lineup changes for tonight’s divisional matchup vs the Philadelphia Flyers.

Goaltender Tristan Jarry will start in goal, while Kris Letang and Justin Schultz are expected back in the lineup.

Schultz last played on December 5th.

In starting Jarry tonight vs Flyers where if the Penguins lose in regulation they would be in sole possession of last place in the Metro, Mike Sullivan says the team wants Murray to get the mental aspect of his game back in reset mode and work with goaltending coach Mike Buckley for a few days.

Murray has struggled lately with his angles.

“I think it gives Matt an opportunity to spend some time with goaltending coach Mike Buckley and just reset his mindset, get back to some of the basics of his game that we think are important that help him be at his best.”

In starting Jarry tonight, though, the Penguins have set things up for Jarry to start the next 2 out of 3 games with Pittsburgh having a back-to-back situation on Thursday and Friday night.
