Jarry made 35 saves in Wednesday's 6-0 loss to the Rangers.
The 29-year-old netminder got no help from the Penguins at either end of the ice. and Jarry was staring at a 3-0 deficit by the end of the first period. He had a losing record for the first time in his career over a full season in 2023-24, going 19-25-5 with a disappointing 2.91 GAA and .903 save percentage, and this was far from an encouraging start to the current campaign. With Alex Nedeljkovic (lower body) on the shelf to begin the season though, Jarry figures to see a hefty workload early.

Penguins' Tristan Jarry: Slated to start Wednesday
Rotowire
Jarry was the first goalie off Wednesday, Matt Vensel of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports, indicating he'll start in the home goal for Pittsburgh's Opening Night matchup against the Rangers.
Jarry showed some slight regression during the 2023-24 campaign, posting a 19-25-5 record, 2.91 GAA and .903 save percentage, all of which were his worst marks since becoming a regular part of the Penguins' goaltending picture during the 2019-20 season. However, he was relatively solid in the preseason and should be Pittsburgh's No. 1 goaltender early in the year while Alex Nedeljkovic (lower body) is on injured reserve.

Jarry will enter the 2024-25 campaign hoping to reclaim the starting job after Alex Nedeljkovic played in the final 14 games of the season for the Pens last year. A preseason lower-body injury for Nedeljkovic could ease the pressure on Jarry to open the season, but he figures to be on a short leash regardless.

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.
