PITTSBURGH (AP) – Tristan Jarry made 25 saves to lead the Pittsburgh Penguins to a 5-1 win over the Detroit Red Wings in an exhibition game on Sunday.

Kasperi Kapanen scored twice and Jeff Carter, Kris Letang and Danton Heinen each scored a goal for Pittsburgh, who announced ahead of the game that Jake Guentzel had tested positive for COVID-19.

The team said on Twitter that Guentzel, who was replaced in the roster by Dominik Simon, was “being watched by Penguins medical staff and will follow protocols established by the National Hockey League.”

Pius Suter scored for the Red Wings, who had timeshare Alex Nedeljkovic and Victor Brattstrom in front of the net. Nedeljkovic started and allowed four goals on 23 shots in 35:15 covering the first half and a half before being replaced by Brattstrom, who finished with eight saves on nine shots.
