Goaltender Casey DeSmith started for the Pittsburgh Penguins against the Florida Panthers after Tristan Jarry was ruled out due to injury on Tuesday.

Jarry had missed seven games with a lower-body injury and returned last Friday against the Ottawa Senators. But this time, the Penguins said he was dealing with an upper-body injury.

Mike Chiasson is the Penguins' emergency back-up goalie and has practised with the team multiple times this season.

The Penguins beat the Panthers 7-6 in overtime.
