The Pittsburgh Penguins will finish their four-game road trip on Monday night in Toronto against the Maple Leafs.
The Penguins are coming off a 5-2 defeat at the hands of the Winnipeg Jets on Saturday and will try to end the trip on a high note. They enter Monday’s game with an 8-3-2 record, which is good for 18 points. They are tied for first in the Metropolitan Division with the New Jersey Devils.
Tristan Jarry is set to start in goal for the Penguins after having the day off on Saturday. He’s off to a strong start this season, compiling a 5-1-0 record, a 2.35 goals-against average, and a .923 save percentage.
Harrison Brunicke is slated to be in his ninth NHL game after he was paired with Owen Pickering again during the morning skate. Brunicke played in his eighth game on Saturday and struggled, so he’ll try to bounce back on Monday.
