The Penguins placed Noel Acciari, Justin Brazeau and Tristan Jarry on IR

After that, the team called up forward Danton Heinen, defenseman Ryan Graves and goaltender Sergei Murashov from the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins and sent defenseman Owen Pickering to the AL affiliate.

Acciari sustained an upper-body injury during Monday night’s loss to the Toronto Maple Leafs, while Brazio missed Pittsburgh’s last two games with an upper-body injury of his own.

As for Jerry’s illness, it is not clear when the injury occurred, because he was in net for the entirety of Monday’s contest. The 30-year-old stopped 16 of 20 shots he faced in a 4-3 comeback win for the Maple Leafs, who were down 3-0.

The Penguins (8-4-2) return to action on Thursday, hosting the Washington Capitals for the latest edition of Sidney Crosby vs. Alexander Ovechkin (SportsNet, SportsNet+, 7:30 pm ET / 4:30 pm PT).
