Tristan Jarry made 46 saves in his return from a lower-body injury as the Penguins raced past Ottawa 4-1 on Friday night.
Pittsburgh Penguins' Sidney Crosby screens Ottawa Senators goaltender Cam Talbot with Erik Brannstrom defending during the second period of an NHL hockey game in Pittsburgh, Friday, Jan. 20, 2023. The Pittsburgh Penguins have spent much of the last month fending off injuries and erratic and occasionally uninspired play.
"I've had a little bit of time off," said Jarry, who hadn't played since getting hurt in the first period of the Winter Classic against Boston on Jan. 2. "So obviously it's never easy having to watch games and it's never easy having to watch guys go out every night and give it their all and you can't be out there with them."
Jake Guentzel scored twice for the Penguins to reach 20 goals for the sixth straight season. Rickard Rakell added his 17th and Jason Zucker his 13th as Pittsburgh beat the Senators for the 11th straight time at PPG Paints Arena. "Obviously, we'd like to score more goals," Ottawa forward Derick Brassard said. "The goalie was hot tonight. It was his first game back. I think he fed off of a lot of that energy."
Rakell and Zucker scored 43 seconds apart in the first to give the Penguins an early 2-0 lead. Guentzel's 19th goal with 2:48 made it 3-0. Tkachuk's goal late in the second briefly gave Ottawa life but couldn't fully blunt Pittsburgh's momentum.Penguins defenseman P.O. Joseph and older brother Mathieu, a forward for the Senators, lived out a childhood dream when they played each other for the first time in the NHL.
