Pittsburgh Penguins make a shocking roster announcement regarding Tristan Jarry
The Pittsburgh Penguins have made the decision to recall their goaltender Tristan Jarry from the AHL, so he will be rejoining his NHL club.
The Pittsburgh Penguins are giving their goalie a fresh start in the NHL after a difficult season.
It has been one of the toughest seasons for goaltender Tristan Jarry this year. His team came into the year hoping he could get a comeback from last year, which saw him plagued with injuries and subpar performance.
But his struggles carried into 2024, and the Penguins assigned him to the American Hockey League for a conditioning stint.
That moved Jarry back into some game action while continuing to work his way back from his latest injury with the added aim of helping him find his form once more.
Now, Jarry is in a position to prove he's ready to take back his starter's job with the team.
Jarry has been called up for a return to the NHL lineup by the Penguins, and with an NHL goaltending tandem that continues to raise questions, his timing could be the only thing better than his performance.
Rookie goaltender Joel Blomqvist has impressed and has particularly risen to the challenge in the wake of Tristan Jarry's continued absence.
Usually the backup to veteran netminder Alex Nedeljkovic, Blomqvist got the start in an important game against the Washington Capitals, as he helped secure a crucial win.
He may have done enough to secure an extended look in the NHL even with Jarry ready to return to the lineup.
Jarry, a Penguin his entire career, was selected in the second round of the 2013 NHL Draft and immediately began being groomed as the future goaltender of the Pittsburgh Penguins.
In 260 games, all in a Penguins' uniform, Jarry is 137-86-25 with a 2.72 goals-against average and a .911 save percentage in 249 starts.
This season, Tristan Jarry has made just three starts, going 1-1 and getting pulled in one.
With his return to Pittsburgh, he'll look to return to form after he twice made the NHL All-Star game.
