Tristan Jarry is the first goalie off the ice at the Penguins' morning skate.

Jarry will likely start for the Penguins on Monday as he attempts to find more consistency in his game. Through six starts this season, three are very high quality while the other three are borderline dreadful. In his three quality starts (2-1-0), Jarry has a .965 SV% along with two shutouts, contrasting severely with his other three starts (0-3-0), where he has registered a .821 SV%. Jarry and the Penguins will hope to get their games in order on Monday as they are -236 home favourites against an Anaheim Ducks team that has quietly won three straight games, outscoring their opposition 14-9.

Connor Ingram will start Monday vs. Chicago.

Ingram will return to the Coyotes crease for the fourth time this season after he was pulled just 12 minutes into his last start against the Rangers on Tuesday. Ingram surrendered three goals on just nine shots before being lifted in favour of Karel Vejmelka in what was by far Ingram's worst start of the young season. The 26-year-old netminder will be hoping to regain the form he flashed in his first two starts of the season, when he stopped 50 of the combined 54 shots he faced (.926 SV%). He draws a dream matchup tonight with the Coyotes being -190 favourites at home over the Blackhawks.

McDavid (upper-body) is on the ice for warmups and is expected to play against the Flames in the Heritage Classic on Sunday.

McDavid missed the last two games with an upper-body injury that he suffered last Saturday vs. the Jets. However, he was a full participant in Saturday's practice which put him on track to be a surprise participant in Sunday's Heritage Classic vs. the Flames. McDavid, who has eight points (2G / 6A) in five games, skated next to Leon Draisaitl and Warren Foegele in Saturday's session.

Jarry led the Penguins onto the ice for warmups.

Jarry stopped all 31 shots that he faced in the Penguins' shutout win over the Avalanche on Thursday. It was shocking performance from Jarry, who allowed a combined eight goals on 48 shots (.833 SV%) in his previous two outings. Tonight he'll take on a Penguins team that has lost three in a row and will be without Thomas Chabot, Artem Zub and Erik Brannstrom.

Jarry will start Thursday against the Avalanche.

Jarry will return to the Penguins' crease after serving as backup to Alex Nedeljkovic in a 4-1 loss to the Dallas Stars on Tuesday. After a hot start to the season where he registered a .944 SV% in his first two games (1-1-0), he has since sported an ugly .833 SV% in his two games since (0-2-0). The Penguins have hit a rough patch as a whole, losing three straight games and being outscored 14-6 in the process. Jarry and the Penguins will have their work cut out for them on Thursday as they are facing a Colorado Avalanche team that has yet to lose a game (6-0-0).

Connor Ingram will start Tuesday vs. Los Angeles.

Ingram will return to the crease on Tuesday for his third game, as the Coyotes continue to split time between their two netminders early this season. Ingram has played well to start the season, posting a 2.02 GAA and .926 SV% in two games (1-1-0). The Coyotes are +161 road underdogs against a Los Angeles Kings team that is scoring (4.20 GF/GP) almost as much as they are allowing (3.80 GA/GP).

The Sabres re-assigned Savoie (upper-body) to Rochester (AHL) on Sunday for a conditioning stint.

Savoie suffered the injury in the final game of the Sabres' Prospect Showcase in September. The 19-year-old is one of the Sabres' top prospects and is coming off of a season where he had 95 points (38G / 57A) in 62 games with the Winnipeg Ice (WHL).

McDavid suffered an undisclosed injury in the third period of Saturday's game against the Jets and did not return.

McDavid appeared to be in some discomfort and was seen grabbing his left side after a shift late in the third period. He did not return for the final 4:20 of the third or the overtime period. Oilers head coach Jay Woodcroft told reporters that he would have an update on the injury on Sunday, but that it appeared to be "more muscular" in nature. The 2022-23 Hart Trophy winner is enjoying another otherworldly start to this year's campaign, with two goals and six assists to his name through the opening five games of the season.

Henrique (illness) will not play in Thursday's game against the Stars.

Henrique has not played in more than 71 games in a single season since 2018-19.
