COLUMBUS, Ohio — The backup goalie situation has now reached DEFCON 1.
It took only two cannon blasts at Nationwide Arena on Friday night for Penguins coach Mike Sullivan to yank Casey DeSmith. It was the second time this month he had to turn to Tristan Jarry in relief in the second half of a back-to-back.
DeSmith’s game has unraveled again and he has clearly lost the faith of Sullivan and his staff. Making matters worse, there is no obvious alternative in the organization right now, not with Louis Domingue spotted on crutches on Thursday.
