Pittsburgh Penguins goaltender Tristan Jarry was substituted for Casey DeSmith in the first period of Monday’s Winter Classic game against the Boston Bruins after showing signs of discomfort.

“After speaking with the Penguins coaching staff, Tristan Jarry returns to the locker room and Casey DeSmith will come in to take over in goal with 4:30 left in the 1st period,” the Penguins said on Twitter.
