Tristan Jarry returned to the Pittsburgh Penguins starting lineup this week after nearly two-months in the American Hockey League. The result was two of the best games he has played all season in helping the Penguins win back-to-back games against two very good opponents in the Minnesota Wild and Vegas Golden Knights.
He was especially strong in Tuesday’s game against Vegas, stopping 35 out of 37 shots in a game where the Penguins were doubled up in shots, scoring chances and expected goals.
If we are being honest, they did not deserve a win.
It was the type of game we have not seen enough from him — or any Penguins goalie recently — as he not only gave his team a chance to win, he pretty much stole it.
