Penguins Sign New Goalie to PTO: Tristan Jarry Earns First Victory in AHL Conditioning Stint
Pittsburgh Penguins goalie Tristan Jarry, records first win in debut with Wilkes-Barre/Scranton (WBS), Pittburgh's AHL affiliate team.
Tristan Jarry was sent on a conditioning loan to Wilkes-Barre/Scranton of the American Hockey League. A few days prior to traveling across the state, the goalie had returned to Pittsburgh for some one-on-one work.
Jarry stopped 32 out of 34 shots as the WBS Penguins defeated the Syracuse Crunch 3-2. He prevented the Crunch from making a late surge and comeback with some great saves.
Before the Penguins' loss in Edmonton on Friday, Jarry was sent back to Pittsburgh from their Western road trip. He is currently undergoing what head coach Mike Sullivan has been referring to as a "program" to help him return to his peak.
Jarry is expected to play every game for WBS over a 14-day period (five games total), according to Penguins President of Hockey Operations and General Manager Kyle Dubas, who told reporters that he will return to Pittsburgh feeling strong and in good form.
Regarding Jarry's performance and his handling of the situation, WBS head coach Kirk MacDonald had nothing but praise for him.
According to Jarry, he is adopting a day-by-day strategy and believes that this process will only improve his performance.
