The Penguins have revealed that Tristan Jarry will start in goal tonight vs. the Leafs, and the team also provided injury updates on Justin Brazeau and Kevin Hayes.
The Penguins took part in their morning Skate in Toronto prior to facing the Maple Leafs tonight. Following the skate, the team released quite a bit of important information to the media and fans.
For starters, Tristan Jarry will get the nod in net tonight. In terms of injury updates, Justin Brazeau was the only player not present on the ice, so he will not play tonight as he is listed as day-to-day with an upper-body injury.

Brazeau, 27, has been quite a revelation for the Penguins this season. The 6-foot-6, 232-pound forward has six goals and 12 points in 12 games and has been skating alongside Evgeni Malkin and Anthony Mantha, both of whom are also off to hot starts this season, as they're all clicking together.
There was also an update on the injured Kevin Hayes, who is currently dealing with an upper-body issue. He skated with the team but is still status quo and won't play tonight vs. Toronto.
