Jarry will start vs. Vegas on Tuesday.

Jarry was excellent in Sunday's 3-1 win over the Minnesota Wild, saving 29 of 30 shots (.967 SV%) while playing his first NHL game in nearly two months. The 29-year-old Jarry has a 3.20 GAA and .888 SV% in 23 games this season (9-8-4) and will return to the crease on Tuesday against the Vegas Golden Knights. The Penguins enter Tuesday's contest as +182 home underdogs against a Golden Knights squad coming off a roller-coaster 6-5 loss to the Los Angeles Kings.

Dickinson (ankle) will return on Monday in Colorado.

Pat Maroon will be a healthy scratch on Monday against the Colorado Avalanche, allowing Dickinson to return to the lineup from a high-ankle sprain. The 29-year-old Dickinson has not played since February 5th and has seven goals and 16 points in 53 games this season.

Jason Dickinson
The Oilers have acquired Jake Walman from the Sharks for Carl Berglund and a conditional 2026 first-round pick.

Walman made a big impact in 50 games with San Jose this season, averaging 23:11 time-on-ice and scoring 32 points (6G / 26A), earning a coveted first-round pick for the Sharks. The 29-year-old Walman likely won't see the powerplay exposure he had in San Jose now, behind Evan Bouchard on Edmonton's depth chart, but he is still poised to suit up as one of their top-four defensemen.

With John Klingberg (undisclosed) and Mattias Ekholm (illness) out of the lineup on Thursday against the Montreal Canadiens, Dineen will enter the lineup for his season debut.
