Tristan Jarry
Pittsburgh Penguins Goaltender
An .8919 in 36 games, waived twice, and the best career save percentage on a club whose goaltending was 31st in the league.

This Season So Far
The 2025-26 season has not started. The empty row above is his, and both it and this paragraph fill in on their own from the morning after he first plays: what he has done, what it is worth against his own last season, and the run he is on when the two disagree.
Last Season
16-12-6 in 36 games with an .8919, a 3.12 average and 2 shutouts, facing 971 shots.
The club’s goaltending came in 26.0 goals worse than the chances faced, 31st in the league. He was placed on waivers twice during the season and spent time in the American League, which is a remarkable thing to happen to a goaltender with a career .9093 and two All-Star appearances.
The Physical Game
6-4 and 201 and the technique is sound when it is working. He is square, he plays a conventional depth, and the glove is good.
The rebound control is where it goes wrong. Pucks come off him into the slot under pressure, and the recovery on the second chance is not quick enough to cover it. The puck-handling is genuinely excellent — he is among the better skating goaltenders in the league and starts breakouts himself, which on a club with this blue line matters.
The Mental Game
This is the whole file. He has posted a .9219 and a .9091 in seasons where the club was good, and an .8903 and an .8919 in the two since, and the collapse has come with visible unease rather than gradually.
Being waived twice in one season and sent down is the sort of thing a career does not always come back from. He is 30 and the contract runs two more years.
The Intangibles
A second-round pick in 2013 and 293 games with a career .9093 and 21 shutouts, all of it in Pittsburgh.
Alex Nedeljkovic was traded to San Jose in the summer and Arturs Silovs was acquired from Vancouver, which leaves him nominally first in line on a club that has no better option and no confidence in the one it has.
