The Pittsburgh Penguins are hoping the third time's the charm in their search for a reliable backup goaltender.

Tristan Jarry will replace Casey DeSmith as Pittsburgh's No. 2 netminder after being recalled from the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins on Monday.

DeSmith was reassigned to the AHL affiliate in a corresponding move. He gave up three goals on 15 shots after Matt Murray was pulled in Pittsburgh's 7-1 loss to the Winnipeg Jets on Sunday night.

Antti Niemi began the season as the backup goalie for the two-time defending Stanley Cup champions, but he was waived and claimed by the Florida Panthers after three terrible appearances for the Penguins in which he gave up 16 goals over 129 minutes for a save percentage of .797.
