Penguins' Tristan Jarry: Betrayed by team in third period
Rotowire
Jarry made 34 saves in a 4-2 loss to the Islanders on Tuesday.
He had his team up 2-0 with some strong saves through two frames, but the Pens wobbled in the third, and Jarry couldn't stop the dam from breaking. He allowed three goals on the night. Jarry had won four straight in March since his call up, and he's been strong in all five starts. The Pens actually need to fall in the standings to get a great draft pick, and Jarry seems set on foiling those plans. He's been that strong.

Penguins' Tristan Jarry: In goal Tuesday
Rotowire
Jarry will get the starting nod at home versus the Islanders on Tuesday, Michelle Crechiolo of the Penguins' official site reports.
Jarry is riding a four-game winning streak since being called up from AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton, posting a 2.24 GAA and a .930 save percentage along the way. With his current run of form, Jarry has improved his numbers to 12-8-4 with a 3.13 GAA and an .892 save percentage. Barring a dramatic shift in the Penguins' plans, Jarry looks poised to see the bulk of the workload the rest of the way.

Penguins' Tristan Jarry: Carries to win by offense
Rotowire
Jarry made 24 saves in Saturday's 7-3 win over the Devils.
After the Penguins took a 4-1 lead early in the third period, Jarry gave up two power-play goals a minute apart to put the outcome in some jeopardy, but Pittsburgh's offense didn't let up and pulled away again. The 29-year-old netminder has injected some life into the Pens since rejoining the roster, winning four straight starts while posting a 2.24 GAA and a .930 save percentage. Pittsburgh is still six points out of a wild-card spot with five other teams to leapfrog, but if a miracle finish to the season is in the cards, it'll likely need to be fueled by Jarry rediscovering his All-Star form.

Penguins' Tristan Jarry: Guarding cage Saturday
Rotowire
Jarry will patrol the home crease versus New Jersey on Saturday, Dave Molinari of Pittsburgh Hockey Now reports.
Jarry will make his fourth straight start as he has taken over the No. 1 job in Pittsburgh from Alex Nedeljkovic. In his previous three outings, Jarry has gone 3-0-0 while stopping 96 of 102 shots (.941 save percentage). He was sent to the minors earlier in the season after being placed on waivers, but he has rebounded nicely. New Jersey has generated 2.99 goals per game, tied for 14th in the NHL this season.

Penguins' Tristan Jarry: Third straight win
Rotowire
Jarry stopped 33 of 36 shots in Thursday's 5-3 win over the Blues.
Jarry has been nothing short of outstanding since he got the start in the 3-1 win over the Wild on Sunday. The 29-year-old netminder has made three starts in a row for the Penguins, winning them all while notching a 1.99 GAA and an excellent .941 save percentage. He's not expected to play at this level for an extended stretch, but there's no question Jarry is trending in the right direction following this string of excellent outings.

Penguins' Tristan Jarry: Facing Blues
Rotowire
Jarry will be between the home pipes versus St. Louis on Thursday, according to Penguins' reporter Dan Potash.
Jarry has won both his starts since returning from his stint in the AHL on March 3. He has allowed only three goals on 67 shots (.955 save percentage) in wins over Minnesota and Vegas. Jarry is 10-8-4 with a 3.15 GAA and an .891 save percentage across 24 appearances this season. The Blues are generating 2.82 goals per game in 2024-25, 22nd in the NHL.

Penguins' Tristan Jarry: Hangs on for OT win
Rotowire
Jarry turned aside 35 shots in Tuesday's 3-2 overtime win over the Golden Knights.
He was by far the busier netminder on the night, as Vegas out-shot Pittsburgh 37-17, but Jarry got handed an early 2-0 lead by Sidney Crosby and nearly made it stick, only giving up the tying goal to Noah Hanifin with seven seconds left in regulation. Erik Karlsson then rewarded Jarry for his effort with the winner 49 seconds into OT. The 29-year-old netminder has won back-to-back starts since returning to the NHL roster, allowing three goals on 67 shots. While Pittsburgh's playoff chances were already on life support prior to Jarry's promotion, the team has little to lose but draft lottery odds by giving him a chance to reclaim his starting job and put together a miracle finish to the season.

Vegas had its four-game winning streak snapped in a 6-5 loss to the Kings on Sunday.

Penguins' Tristan Jarry: Posts win in NHL return
Rotowire
Jarry stopped 29 of 30 shots in Sunday's 3-1 win against Minnesota.
Jarry had a strong return to the NHL after spending nearly two months with AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton. He kept Pittsburgh's net spotless until the 14:54 mark in the third period when Ryan Hartman scored the Wild's lone goal of the game. The 29-year-old Jarry now has a 9-8-4 record with a 3.20 GAA and an .888 save percentage. Sunday's win was Jarry's first in the NHL since Dec. 23 and his second start this season where he allowed one goal or less. While Alex Nedeljkovic has been Pittsburgh's top netminder for the majority of the season, Jarry's strong return could lead to an even split in goaltending opportunities for the time being. Jarry still has a bit more to prove before becoming a trustworthy option for lineups in fantasy, but Sunday's showcase is an encouraging sign.

Jarry will guard the road goal against Minnesota on Sunday, Penguins play-by-play announcer Josh Getzoff reports.
Jarry will make his first NHL appearance since Jan. 14 against Seattle after being brought up from AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton on Monday.

Penguins' Tristan Jarry: Recalled from minors
Rotowire
Jarry was called up from AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton on Monday.
Jarry's last NHL appearance was Jan. 14 versus the Kraken, a game in which he gave up three goals on 17 shots in a fifth consecutive loss. In the minors, the 29-year-old netminder hasn't found significantly more success, going 6-5-1 with a 2.67 GAA and .908 save percentage. With youngster Joel Blomqvist struggling, the team decided to send him down to the minors while bringing Jarry back up in a corresponding move. The decision could also be an opportunity for Jarry to impress ahead of the March 7 trade deadline.

Penguins' Tristan Jarry: Sent back to minors
Rotowire
Jarry was returned to AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton on Tuesday.
Jarry's promotion to the NHL roster during the 4 Nations Face-Off was a technical move that kept the team compliant with NHL rules that require every roster to have at least two goalies. With Pittsburgh back in action versus Washington on Saturday, Jarry headed back down to Wilkes/Barre-Scranton, switching places with Joel Blomqvist.

Penguins' Tristan Jarry: Rejoins big club
Rotowire
Jarry was called up from AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton on Saturday.
Jarry will swap places with Joel Blomqvist at the start of the break for the 4 Nations Face-Off. It's possible the Penguins want to see if he's made any progress in getting back on track after being waived in mid-January. Jarry won't exhaust his waivers exemption even if he's up for the whole break, so he could be sent down again before play resumes Feb. 22 versus the Capitals.

Penguins' Tristan Jarry: Officially sent down
Rotowire
Jarry, as expected, was reassigned to AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton on Thursday after passing through waivers unclaimed.
Jarry has been decidedly bad this season, going 8-8-4 with a career-worst .884 save percentage and 3.31 GAA. Multiple times this season, the 29-year-old netminder gave up a goal on the first shot he faced. Tuesday's matchup with Seattle appears to have been the straw that broke the camel's back, as Jarry conceded two goals in 50 seconds, costing the Penguins the lead and ultimately the game. The British Columbia native heads to the minors mired in a five-game losing streak in which he posted a 0-3-2 record over six appearances.

Penguins' Tristan Jarry: Set to be waived by Pittsburgh
Rotowire
Jarry will be waived by the Penguins on Wednesday.
Jarry has struggled in recent weeks, culminating in Wednesday's loss to the Kraken in which he allowed a pair of third-period goals within a span of 50 seconds to turn a 2-1 lead into a 3-2 deficit. The 29-year-old had still served as Pittsburgh's primary netminder for most of the year despite one of the worst seasons of his career, as he posted an 8-8-4 record, 3.31 GAA and .884 save percentage over 22 appearances to begin the 2024-25 campaign. Jarry will likely have a chance to get back into form at AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton if he clears waivers, while Alex Nedeljkovic should take over as Pittsburgh's No. 1 goaltender for now.

Penguins' Tristan Jarry: Lead slips away late Tuesday
Rotowire
Jarry stopped 14 of 17 shots in Tuesday's 4-2 loss to the Kraken, with Seattle's final goal getting scored into an empty net.
The Penguins controlled the first two periods and out-shot the visitors 28-10, but they only had a 2-1 lead to show for it. That gave Jarry no margin for error in the third when his defense fell asleep, leading to two goals 50 seconds apart in the final frame by Jamie Oleksiak and Eeli Tolvanen. Jarry hasn't picked up a win since Dec. 23, going 0-3-2 over his last six outings with a 2.85 GAA and .881 save percentage as he remains in a timeshare with Alex Nedeljkovic.

Jarry will patrol the home crease versus the Kraken on Tuesday, per Penguins play-by-play announcer Josh Getzoff.
Jarry is winless through four appearances in January, posting an 0-1-2 record, .905 save percentage and 2.17 GAA. The Kraken are 18-23-3 this season and have put up 2.89 goals per game, which ranks 22nd in the NHL.

Penguins' Tristan Jarry: Poor showing in loss
Rotowire
Jarry gave up three goals on 17 shots in Sunday's 5-2 loss to the Lightning. The last two goals were empty-netters.
Jarry was awful in a tough matchup, as the Lightning ended up being opportunistic with limited chances. This was Jarry's fourth straight defeat (0-3-1), and he's allowed a total of 13 goals over five appearances in that span. For the season, the 29-year-old goalie dropped to 8-7-4 with a 3.32 GAA and an .888 save percentage over 21 appearances. Neither Jarry nor Alex Nedeljkovic has been good lately, so it's unclear who might get the start at home Tuesday versus the Kraken.

Penguins' Tristan Jarry: Needed in relief against Sens
Rotowire
Jarry stopped all five shots he faced after replacing Alex Nedeljkovic midway through the second period during Saturday's 5-0 loss to Ottawa.
The Senators took their foot off the gas over the final half of the game with a comfortable 5-0 lead, and Jarry wasn't really tested. The 29-year-old goalie hasn't won a game since Christmas, going 0-1-2 over his last four appearances, but his 2.73 GAA and .900 save percentage are superior to Nedeljkovic's recent work. The duo will likely work in a timeshare unless one of them can heat up and seize the top job.

Penguins' Tristan Jarry: Can't hang onto lead Tuesday
Rotowire
Jarry turned aside 26 shots in regulation and overtime and one of three shootout attempts in Tuesday's 4-3 loss to the Blue Jackets.
Rickard Rakell struck twice in the third period to give the Penguins a 3-1 lead, but Jarry couldn't make it stick before Pittsburgh's skaters came up empty in the shootout. Jarry has just one win in his last five starts, going 1-2-2 with a 2.95 GAA and .899 save percentage, and he seems to be slipping back into a timeshare with Alex Nedeljkovic as the Pens try to find some consistency between the pipes.
