This surgery will sideline Jones until at least the end of February, which means he could be back when the NHL returns from the Olympic break. The Ducks have 29 games after that break.
Janmark missed the first three games of the season in COVID-19 protocol but will play tonight vs. the Oilers. Janmark, who had five points (1G / 4A) in 15 games with the Golden Knights last year, will skate on the fourth line in his season debut.
Jones has been sent back to Anaheim, suggesting that his injury is relatively serious. With Jones out, Derek Grant will remain in the Ducks lineup on Thursday.
Jarry has tested positive for COVID-19 but is reportedly asymptomatic. Being placed in the NHL's COVID-19 protocol puts Jarry's status for Saturday's game in doubt. If Jarry can't play, look for Casey DeSmith to get the nod vs. Toronto.
David Rittich was added to the COVID-19 protocol list, so Ingram has been brought up to serve as Juuse Saros vs. Carolina.
Jarry went 25-9-3 with a 2.75 GAA and .909 SV% in 38 starts in 2021. Jarry finished the season on a 13-1-1 stretch, while posting a .910 SV%. However, he struggled vs. the Islanders in the postseason, so it will be important for the Penguins that the good Jarry shows up to open the season. He draws a terrible matchup in Tampa Bay without Sidney Crosby, Evgeni Malkin and Jake Guentzel in front of him.
Janmark will miss the Golden Knights season opener, so Pavel Dorofeyev will make his NHL debut on the fourth line. Monitor Janmark's status prior to Thursday's game in Los Angeles.
