Penguins' Tristan Jarry: Watches playoff push from bench
Rotowire
Jarry made one relief appearance over the Penguins' last 12 games while Alex Nedeljkovic took over as the No. 1 netminder.
For the first time since Jarry's rookie campaign back in 2017-18, in which he played in just 26 games, the netminder failed to reach the 20-win threshold in 2023-24. In his 51 outings this season, Jarry posted a career-worst 2.91 GAA and .903 save percentage while going 19-25-5.

Penguins' Tristan Jarry: Takes loss in relief appearance
Rotowire
Jarry stopped 12 of 14 shots in relief of Alex Nedeljkovic, taking the loss in a 6-4 defeat to the Bruins on Saturday.
Jarry entered the game just after the midway mark. The Penguins were competitive enough to make it close, and that ultimately resulted in Jarry taking his fourth loss in five outings. His playing time has all but dried up because Nedeljkovic has played well enough to get the Penguins in the playoff hunt. Jarry dropped to 19-25-5 with a 2.91 GAA and a .903 save percentage through 51 appearances this season. The Penguins host the Predators on Monday and visit the Islanders on Wednesday to close out the 2023-24 campaign.

Penguins' Tristan Jarry: Remains out Tuesday
Rotowire
Jarry (illness) will not be available against the Devils on Tuesday, Penguins play-by-play announcer Josh Getzoff reports.
Without Jarry in the lineup, the team called up Joel Blomqvist to serve as the backup to Alex Nedeljkovic, who will be making his sixth straight start. At this point, with Jarry having just one win in his last eight appearances, the Penguins may continue to roll with Nedeljkovic down the stretch -- at least as long as there is a glimmer of hope for securing a wild-card spot.

Penguins' Tristan Jarry: Between pipes Monday
Rotowire
Jarry will tend the twine against the Rangers on the road Monday, Penguins play-by-play announcer Josh Getzoff reports.
Jarry will make his first appearance in the crease since March 24 versus Colorado, having been benched in favor of Alex Nedeljkovic for the last three games. It's been an underwhelming end to the season for the 28-year-old Jarry, who has gone 1-5-1 with a 4.47 GAA and .869 save percentage over his last eight games. With Jarry starting Monday, look for Nedeljkovic to take the second game of the back-to-back versus the Devils on Tuesday.

Penguins' Tristan Jarry: Gets hook again Friday
Rotowire
Jarry gave up four goals on 20 shots before being replaced by Alex Nedeljkovic early in the third period of Friday's 4-2 loss to the Stars.
It's the third time in his last seven starts that Jarry hasn't made it to the final horn, a brutal stretch in which he's gone 1-5-1 with a 4.71 GAA and .870 save percentage. The Penguins' playoff hopes are on life support, but Nedeljkovic hasn't been any better in March, which doesn't give coach Mike Sullivan many options. Unless Pittsburgh decides to roll the dice and turn the crease over to 2020 second-round pick Joel Blomqvist (2.16 GAA, .918 save percentage for AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton this season), Jarry will likely hang onto the No. 1 job over the final weeks of the season.

Penguins' Tristan Jarry: Slips against Oilers
Rotowire
Jarry made 38 saves on 42 shots in Sunday's 4-0 loss to Edmonton.
Connor McDavid intercepted a bad clearing attempt by the Penguins early in the first period and beat Jarry clean, and it was all downhill from there for the home squad.

The Penguins are now eight points out of a playoff berth and would have to leapfrog four other teams to climb into a wild-card spot -- should their postseason hopes fade away completely, Jarry might begin to cede more work to Alex Nedeljkovic.
