Pittsburgh Penguins starting goalie Tristan Jarry left Monday’s Winter Classic at Fenway Park against the Boston Bruins with a lower-body injury and will not return.

Jarry spoke with Pittsburgh trainers before opting to leave the game. Casey DeSmith replaced Jarry in net with 4:30 left in the first period.

Jarry made eight saves before leaving the ice.

The game was tied 0-0 at the time of Jarry’s exit, and Pittsburgh later scored the first goal of the game on Kasperi Kapanen’s unassisted tally 8:40 into the second period.

Should DeSmith need to leave the game, the Penguins will have to turn to emergency backup goalie Mike Chiasson.

Monday marked the 15th anniversary of the NHL’s first Winter Classic in 2008 between the Penguins and host Buffalo Sabres.
